The NSCDC boss said the agency visited the scene following a complaint by a victim, Mr. Muminu Abdulrahman.
He said Abdulrahman had reported on Saturday that he had been duped to the tune of N5m by the suspects.
According to him, the NSCDC team discovered many shrines and other gory objects at the scene.
Adeyinka said: “It was a case of ritual activities and money doubling under false pretences and extortion. The complainant filed the case on March 24, 2018. He said about N5m had been extorted from him.

“When we got there, we saw some gory scenes at the shrines. Among the things we saw were the Alaragbo shrine, Abiku shrine, Iguni shrine, Baba Esu shrine, Baba Agba shrine and a lot of other things. The sight was appalling.
“From our investigation, it was clear that they had been carrying out ritual activities and collecting money from their victims under false pretences.”
Adeyinka, however, warned members of the public to avoid falling prey to fraudsters and ritual killers.
