In a chilling revelation, a man known only by his nickname “Mistina Orobo” has confessed to the ritualistic killing of over 70 women in Ibadan, Oyo State, as part of mystical practices. Speaking anonymously on Fresh FM’s radio program “Opeyemi” hosted by Yinka Ayefele, he claimed his actions were driven by a need to “renew his mystical power.” Born in the Foko area of Ibadan, he now claims to have converted to Christianity and enrolled in a seminary.
According to the man, his rituals involved extracting blood from the women to maintain his supernatural abilities, and he admitted to consuming parts of the bodies after the blood had been taken. “My idol takes about 73 to 76 women over seven years,” he stated. “These women are usually found in clubs or other popular places. When I eat people, it’s to renew the voodoo in my body. The sweetest human parts are the tongue, palm, and foot.”
He further claimed to have worked for influential figures, including bank managers and politicians, charging between N50 million and N80 million for his services. He described his initial assignments for these clients, recounting instances where he and his team eliminated people at the behest of wealthy clients. “I charge up to N50 to N80 million to get people killed, and we always work as a team. I taught others to work as highway robbers, assassins, and I usually got my fair share,” he added.
Early Life and Path to Crime
Mistina Orobo traced his violent path back to his childhood as the son of an herbalist, claiming that he began eating sacrifices at the age of nine, a practice he said “fortified” him for his future role as a feared assassin and highway robber. “As a child of an herbalist, I always ate sacrifices at seven different junctions,” he revealed, detailing his eventual transition into ritual killings and organized crime.
A Turn Towards Faith
The former hitman shared a story of transformation, attributing his change of heart to a dream encounter with Jesus Christ. He recounted a turning point where he showed mercy to one of his intended victims, choosing to spare his life. “Since then, I have been sympathetic and have left the wayward life. Now, God has taken over my life. I am now in a seminary. I spent four years learning to be a prophet,” he stated. He clarified that while he does not intend to start a church, he wants his story to be a warning and lesson to others.
In his confession, he also mentioned the tragic death of former lawmaker Temitope Olatoye, known as “Sugar,” suggesting he could have prevented the killing if he hadn’t been in Ghana at the time. Sugar was fatally shot by suspected political thugs in Ibadan in 2019, and Mistina Orobo claimed he had previously warned Sugar of looming threats.
The man’s shocking admissions have raised concerns about the extent of ritual killings and politically motivated violence in the region, casting a spotlight on the need for further investigation and accountability in cases where ritual practices intersect with organized crime.
