after reports that he defrauded 2 men in the Lekki area of the state.
45-year-old Jamiu Alao is said to have fraudulently obtained N22.1 million from the men after he promised
them spiritual protection but gave them acid to drink in the guise of a potent potion. Alao, a resident of Ijebu-Ode in Ogun is also facing
charges of conspiracy and obtaining money under false pretences.
www.Punch.ng.com reports:
The prosecutor, Cpl. Innocent Odugbo, told the court
that Alao committed the offences with others still at
large sometime in April at Mayfair Estate, Ajah in
Lekki.
He said the native doctor collected N3million from
one Mr. Raimi Oluwaseyi under the guise of giving
him spiritual protection.
The prosecutor said the accused had on April 8 at
Ijabi Quarters, Ijebu-Ode, also collected 116,000
dollars (N19.1million) from Oluwaseyi and one King
David Orji on the pretext of protecting them
spiritually.
"The native doctor gave the complainants a substance
to drink for spiritual protection and directed that it
should be consumed at a residence in Lagos.
"Orji and Oluwaseyi drank the substance which
turned out to be an acid,'' Odugbo said.
According to Odugbo, the complainants had to travel
abroad to seek urgent medical attention for internal
injuries they received. The Magistrate, Mrs O.
Olanipekun, granted the native doctor bail in the sum
of N500, 000 with two sureties in like sum.
The case was adjourned to June 30 for mention.
