According to the suspect: “An Alfa (an Islamic cleric) gave the rings to me. He brought two cocks, alligator pepper and other ingredients. .
.
He then killed the cocks and poured the blood on the rings and mixed part of the blood with other ingredients. .
.
At the end of the sacrifice, he gave me the two rings and charged me N50,000 for his services. .
.
But I told him I did not have such amount of money with me and I promised to pay him more than that when the rings would start fetching money for me. He agreed and left.
.
.
But before he left, he told me he was travelling to his hometown in Togo, that he would collect the money when he returned. But I have never seen him since then.
.
.
When he was leaving, he advised me to always renew the potency of the charmed rings with the blood of a cock every three days. .
.
He also warned me never to eat ‘draw soup’ and that I should never sleep with a lady who is observing her menstrual flow. .
.
Whenever I saw someone with money, smoke would be coming out from where the money is kept in any part of the person’s body. All I need is a body contact with the owner. .
.
Immediately I touch the person, the money or jewel will disappear from him or her and appear in my bag that I usually go out with.
.
.
On one occasion, I collected $8,000 from a woman without her knowledge. On the day I was arrested, I saw smoke coming out from a man’s pocket I thought it was another catch. .
.
The smoke was so much, indicating that he was with a huge amount of money. But by the time I attempted to have body contact with him, he suspected I was up to something. .
.
He challenged me and told me I was a child in the game. He raised the alarm, which attracted passers-by who descended on me and beat me to coma. .
.
It is only somebody with such an antidote charm that could resist my body contact.”
