A 26-year-old man, Oluwasegun Ayoola, has lost the use of his two hands after he was allegedly tortured by a herbalist in the Oke-Aro area of Lagos State.
PUNCH Metro learnt that the unidentified herbalist, who is still at large, tied the victim’s hands and feet and dumped him in a clay pot for three days without food.
The victim was said to have been released after some family members intervened. He was subsequently taken to a hospital for treatment.
It was gathered that Oluwasegun was cleaning up his apartment on Idimu Road, Ejigbo, when he collapsed and was taken to the herbalist’s shrine by a half-brother, Afolabi.
His mother, Mrs. Kudirat Ayoola, said she never knew they were being taken to a shrine on the day of the incident.
