Pandemonium broke out on Thursday morning at Oke-Ana, Ijesa, Osun State, when two middle-aged men were apprehended by the residents for alleged ritual activities.
The suspects were arrested with various items, including a large number of shoes, bones, clothes and a voter card in an old building belonging to the father of one of them.
Some Youths who apprehended them told Radio Nigeria that an unusual odour of decomposing bodies had been oozing out of the old structure in the last few days.
They noted that the suspects had been arrested sometimes for various crimes by the police but were released.
Alana of Oke-Ana, Oba Alana Adegboye, in his reaction said he called the police immediately after he got the information, to restore peace in the community and unravel the circumstances surrounding the incident.
Also speaking, the Commandant, Vigilante Group of Nigeria, Osun State Command, Mr Fatai Akintola appealed to the people to provide security agencies with useful information to nip crimes in the bud.
The Ijebu-Jesa Divisional Police Officer, Mr Bamidele Solomon who was at the scene of the incident pleaded with the residents to go about their lawful duties while thorough investigation would be carried out on the matter.
