The security operatives in Kubwa have just paraded a
self-acclaimed herbal medicine hawker identified as Tayo for allegedly duping a
resident, adebayo Ibrahim of N20m.
According to report, the incident happened between July
and December 2014.
According to The
City News, the suspect also convinced his victim to follow him to his
residence in Zuba, where he allegedly operated with his accomplices.
“When they got to the house, they recited some
incantations and gave him something to drink
“They also used razor and made some marks on his stomach
and rubbed some concoction into it”, a source said.
With the concoction, the victim was hypnotized and he
obeyed whatever he was commanded to do.
“He sold his two cars and that of his wife, as well as
his house and three plots of land that he bought for some people,” the source
said, adding that the victim recalled depositing a total of N20m in their bank
accounts.
The source said however, the suspect became unlucky when
he was seen by the victim last Thursday around Gado Nasko Way in Kubwa.
He said that when the suspect tried to escape after the
victim confronted him, some good Samaritans caught him and took him to the
police station.
The Kubwa Divisional Police Officer, CSP Nurudeen Sabo,
confirmed the incident, saying that the suspect had confessed to the crime and
identified five others whom he said were in Ekiti State, as his accomplices.
He said that the man confessed to have used part of the
money in building houses in Ekiti State. The case would be transferred to the
state CID for further investigation, Sabo said.
