Residents
of Olakula area of Idiroko in Ipokia Local Government Area of Ogun
State witnessed a jaw-dropping spectacle on _Wednesday as maggots
dropped continuously from the private parts of a woman identified as Iya
Toheeb.
The
scene turned chaotic as residents trooped out to see the woman sat in a
car with the assistance of family members and sympathisers.
It
was thought that she might have been a victim of money-making ritual
after her condition allegedly defied orthodox medication.
Our
correspondent learnt that the woman was also brought to one of the men
she was associated with, a carpenter in the community. Of the reason for
bringing the afflicted woman to the man, a source at the scene who
asked not to be named, said: “The woman was brought to the carpenter who
was her former husband. Her family members believed that the man may be
responsible for her worsening condition that defied treatment in
hospital where she was admitted for months.

“Doctors
were said to have advised her relatives to seek alternative medicine to
her ill-health because it had gone beyond the purview of orthodox
medicine.”Another
source, who did not want her name in print, said: “The woman had dated
different men in the past and it is believed that she may have been used
for money-making ritual going by what we heard from those who know her.
“She
has no wound in her private part yet maggots keep dropping from her
s.xual organ and that sends a signal that there is more to her problem
than meets the eye, particularly since doctors have asked her relatives
to seek help from native doctors for solution to her problem.”
It
was learnt that the carpenter, whose real name could not be ascertained
at press time, made remarks that suggested the woman was being punished
for her promiscuity, after which the woman’s family members decided to
bring her to him for possible solution her predicament. The carpenter
reportedly fled before the arrival of our correspondent.
At
the scene, sympathisers helped spread a sack on the car seat on which
the woman sat when the maggots continued to drop even as a stench
emanating from her body fouled the air. “This is what my beauty has done
to me o,” said the woman shortly before being taken away by her family
