A man known only as ‘Mistina Orobo’ has confessed to a string of ritual killings and violent acts he says he committed over several years, claiming to have taken the lives of over 70 women.
His confessions were made on a popular Ibadan radio show, “Opeyemi,” hosted by Yinka Ayefele on Fresh FM, where he disclosed details of his life as an assassin and ritualist before reportedly becoming a Christian pastor.
Born and raised in the Foko area of Ibadan, Mistina Orobo explained that the blood of the women was essential to “renew his mystical powers,” while parts of their bodies were consumed as part of the ritual. “My idol required between 73 and 76 women over a span of seven years,” he revealed. “The women were usually lured from clubs or popular areas, and their blood helped keep my powers strong. The human tongue, palms, and feet were the tastiest parts,” he recounted.
Mistina Orobo also disclosed his involvement in organized crime for high-profile clients, including politicians and bank executives. He claimed to have commanded high fees, sometimes charging between N50 million and N80 million for targeted killings, often working as part of a larger network. “I taught others how to work on the highway, and in some cases, they became robbers. I always took my share of the proceeds,” he added.
During the show, Mistina Orobo also shared his childhood experience as the son of an herbalist, describing how he was introduced to rituals and sacrifices at a young age. He said, “Since I was nine, I was taught to eat sacrifices at various road junctions. This made me resilient, and by adulthood, I was feared as a killer and sometimes a highway robber.”
However, Mistina Orobo claims he experienced a turning point after a dream encounter with Jesus, prompting him to abandon his violent ways. After a failed attempt at revenge on individuals who had previously attacked him, he had a change of heart and began to feel remorse for his actions. “After that night, I chose a different path and found a way to leave my old life. I spent four years studying to become a prophet. I’m not interested in opening a church, but I want people to know my story and the transformation I’ve undergone,” he said.
He also spoke about his relationship with the late lawmaker Temitope Olatoye, known as Sugar, who was killed in 2019. Mistina Orobo suggested he had warned Sugar of the potential dangers he faced, hinting that his absence in Ghana at the time prevented him from averting the attack that led to Sugar’s death.
Mistina Orobo’s chilling account has left many listeners and residents of Ibadan stunned, igniting a fresh debate on ritual practices, violence, and personal redemption in the region. His story now serves as both a warning and a testimony to the possibility of change.
