A middle aged man was apprehended on Friday, December 3, in Ibadan, Oyo State for allegedly ''turning two children into yam tubers.''
According to report, the man allegedly dropped a certain amount of money on the ground which the children reportedly picked and ''turned into two tubers of yam.''
In a video obtained by journalists, the man was tied with ropes with two tubers of yam placed before him. However, teachers at the school refused to comment on the incident.
None of the residents in the area was also ready to speak when our correspondent visited the area.
All efforts made to get a reaction from the Public Relations Officer of the state police command, Adewale Osifeso, also proved abortive as several calls put through his mobile phone were not answered.
