“After a month, he prepared soap and some other concoctions for him, but the driver came back and accused him of fraud. He said the driver claimed what he gave him did not work as expected. He was not the first person he prepared charms for.”
In his statement to the police, Abiodun admitted he was a herbalist and that he learnt the trade from his late grandmother.
He said: “I was a barber before I started the herbalist job. Since I started the herbalist work I have not prepared money ritual for people, what I do is to assist those in need of favour and some other aspects.
“I was surprised when I was told that I collected four million naira from the cab driver. The tortoise that was recovered from my shrine and the candle inside bottled water were meant for someone. I don’t prepare money ritual for people.”
