A serious drama ensued in Ogbomoso, Oyo State, involving a young woman who was seen wallowing in a puddle allegedly under the influence of a drug.
Reports indicate that the incident occurred on Wednesday, July 23, 2025, at Okelerin junction, Ogbomosho.
While some suspected she was under the influence of drugs, others felt she was a victim of ritualists, suspecting that her private part had been cut off.
An eyewitness reports that the young woman was walking towards the junction when she suddenly dived into the puddle.
"She was walking up from the GB axis, and then as she reached the junction, she dived into a crater with water at the edge of the road, started swaying and gulping the muddy water ravenously,” an eyewitness told Ogbomoso Insight.
“People rushed to assist her, but she lay in the little amount of water collected in the crater, swaying uncontrollably, and put her mouth down there, hastily gulping down the water.”
The eyewitness, a shop owner across the road, informed further that they first thought she was a devotee of the Osun river goddess from the way she was twirling and guzzling the water.
He said, "That was our initial thought that she was an Osun worshipper, in fact, Osun priestesses later came to the scene, but they saw she was not of their sect, and so they left. The whole drama took about three hours before the curtain so to say was drawn on it. More people continued to troop in to see the spectacle.
"Eventually, she regained her senses, and she was helped to stand. The first thing she asked was, “What am l doing here? What is happening?”
The eyewitness added that her relatives later arrived at the scene and guided her home.
