From scavenging for women’s sanitary pads, it is now scooping female urine on the ground.
In Benin, the Edo State capital, two suspected ritualists were caught while attempting to pack an unidentified lady’s urine around Evbotubu Bus Stop, Benin city, Edo State.
According to Peoples Gazette, the incident happened as a lady urinated at the roadside while two young men rushed to pack the urine after the lady left the spot.
They were caught by some youths in the community and were interrogated. While they were being interrogated one of them said he was packing the urine with the intention of disposing of it, while the other one said he wanted to pack it to perceive the smell.
