The call from the basement of Ibadan

The call from the basement of Ibadan: The mystery of Lanre Sidiku A hidden personal phone transmits the only voice from an underground cell in Nigeria. Lanre Sidiku describes to his friend a prison underground with nine other captives, screams from above, then the line cuts off. His motorcycle appears under a bridge at the edge of a forest. In this episode, we explore how a human parts extraction operation functioned for over ten years on the outskirts of Ibadan, the documented police negligence through reports of nighttime screams, and the impossible contradiction: the police demolished the warehouse without excavating the underground cell where Lanre was still alive according to his last call. Victim: Lanre Sidiku Date: March 22, 2014 Location: Soka Forest, Ibadan, Nigeria Status: No judicial resolution; disappearance confirmed - 23 chained survivors found inside the warehouse fenced with barbed wire, unable to confirm the location of the underground cell. - Sloping cement sacrifice slab leading to a wooden bowl with dark stains, surrounded by bones with tissue still visible on the floor. - Police received reports for ten years about a black Jeep with tinted windows visiting the property between 8:00 PM and 9:30 PM, plus systematic nighttime screams. - A man captured lurking around the property later with human tongues and dozens of confiscated SIM cards, executed by a mob without police interrogation.
