The call from the basement of Ibadan
-
Narrated by:

Written by:
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.
