Ghana-must-go sack. She was said to have confessed that her blood was
being used by the owner of the church for ritual purpose and he asked to
bring the two children to replace her.

lady had been arrested.
A 53-year old man named Onwurah Nwankwo, was found inside the den with his hands and legs chained.
Speaking after his rescue from the den, Mr Nwankwo said he had been
held hostage for 11 years after his wife handed him over to the
kidnappers who brought him to the den, adding that he was confused as he
did not know where to go from there.

Some angry youths were said to invaded the area and burnt down the
church before policemen from Ikorodu arrived the scene. The policemen
shot canisters of teargas into the air to disperse the huge crowd
thronging the area.
As at the time of filing this report, policemen in 15 trucks were deployed on both sides of the road close to the scene.
