The incident happened at Ile Akindele when a fish seller noticed the strange creature after removing the wrap of a frozen fish.
Ramota,
who was said to be the fish seller reportedly, raised alarm to attract others
to the strange sight.
She said,
“I went to where we usually buy fish at Kola Eleja, Oke Ado, Ibadan. After I finished, I boarded Okada to my place
to prepare the fish for sale.
Before
getting the fish out of the ice-pack, we needed to use knife to remove them and
use water to de-freeze. I was shocked to see the frozen fish developed into a
living being in the water, the description of which showed half human and half
fish. I quickly called my father and some Alfas to see the strange fish”.
The father
of the woman, a retired civil servant, Pa Rauf Salawu who corroborated the
story said he had never seen such a thing before.
He
narrated his own side of the story saying, “it was around 11am, when I started
hearing the voice of my daughter while I was resting on my bed. She was
shouting and screaming to the extent that people in the compound were
attracted.
Then, I
decided to check what the problem is. I took along my Quran and on getting
there, my daughter had gone to call another Muslim leader in the neighbourhood.
I saw the
strange fish inside water in the bucket, It was strange, how can a fish bought
in the cold room develop into human; that I cannot fully explain.”
Due to the
crowd, police men from Mapo police station were there to control the crowd.
The fish
seller was then taken into the custody of the police. Several calls made to the
police were not picked.
