The News Agency of Nigeria reports that another ritualists’ hideout was uncovered in a tunnel at the Challenge area of Mushin, Lagos on Wednesday.
Sources told NAN that two of the three suspects found at the hideout were lynched by a mob before the arrival of policemen.

“Syringes and needles were also found in the hideout.”
Two similar ritualists den had been discovered in different parts of the state in the last two months, resulting in the death of suspected ritualists through jungle justice.
