However, one of the abducted students who happened to be a 200-level student of the institution, Miss Dorcas Oluwatimilehin Olarenwaju was dumped at Omu-Aran when the ritualists were said to be heading towards Ekiti State.

Narrating her experience, Miss Olarenwaju of Mass Communication department, who was dumped in Omu Aran, Irepodun local government area of the state on Friday morning, said that whereabouts of six of the victims were unknown on Friday.

"While in the taxi I boarded, a woman in the vehicle complained of feeling cold, so the glass windows were closed up. I lost consciousness and later found myself among some people in the night.

“We were about 13 in the place as at Thursday night but the ritualists have taken six victims away. They told us that they are heading to Ekiti State. I was kept inside the booth of the vehicle. When we got to Offa, they asked of my origin and I told them that I’m from Omu Aran. So, when they wanted to take water for the faulty radiator of the vehicle at Omu Aran, I was dropped and set free, unknown to them, in front of my father's house," she said.
