About this episode

This episode explores the dark history of the Soka Forest near Ibadan, discussing its reputation for violent crime and paranormal activity.

Listener Warning: Tonight’s episode covers the Soka Forest case near Ibadan and includes discussion of violent crime, kidnapping, human remains, torture, ritual killings, and disturbing scenes involving victims held captive. Some descriptions may be distressing, so please take care while listening and skip this episode if those subjects are not right for you today. There are certain places that gain a reputation so dark that even years later people still speak of them carefully. Not because they are ancient castles or abandoned asylums, but because something real happened there. Something so disturbing that fact and legend began to merge. Outside the city of Ibadan, beside the busy Lagos–Ibadan Expressway, there was once a stretch of woodland many travellers barely noticed. Cars passed it every day. Buses rolled by in clouds of dust and heat. Motorcycles wove between traffic while roadside life carried on as normal. To most people, it was just another patch of trees. To others, it was somewhere to avoid after dark.
