Nnachata, who came all the way from Onitsha in Anambra State to Abeokuta in Ogun State, in search of the supposed powerful herbalist, disclosed that the man was introduced to him by his friend called Gabriel. Nnachata explained that when he met Badmos, the man presented three different types of money-making ritual to him. He was asked to pick one.
“I’m into NaijaBet game, but the business was not doing well the way I wanted it. I discussed with Gabriel on how to move it forward. That was when he gave me the phone number of Badmos in Abeokuta.
“When I got to Badmos’ house, I explained everything to him. He gave me three different money rituals to choose from. The first one entails swallowing a bird, and to do that, I would have to use alcohol.
The second option would only work for a month, while the third option was that he would prepare soap for me. Badmos said that I would be using the soap to bathe every day before going to my shop,” Nnachata said. The suspect further said that immediately he and Badmos agreed on a price, he transferred N250,000 to the herbalist.
He added: “I decided to embark on the journey in order to grow my business and attract more customers. Most importantly, I wanted to become a billionaire through NaijaBet game.” Nnachata was arrested in Badmos’ house on November 28 about 10a.m. Badmos said that he prepared the charm for Nnachata out of pity. He insisted that this was the first time he would be preparing such charms for anyone.
The human skull was bought for N30,000. After they brought it, I grounded it with some other ingredients and added it to a black soap. I told Nnachata to be using the soap to bathe every day before going to his shop. I told him that if he uses it as directed, it would bring him fortune.” According to the police, all the suspects were arrested after they received a tip-off that a cemetery guard desecrated a grave in order to steal a human skull.
