An angry mob almost lynched
a man to death for allegedly digging and placing voodoo in front of a shop.
A sixty-year-old fetish man
identified as Amedu, who claimed to be from Kogi state was caught in the early
hours of March 1st 2016 burying a charm in front of the shop of a
female yam seller identified as Chidi, at a market stall in Garriki Market,
Awkunanaw, Enugu, in order to recover a debt owed him.
The man claimed that the
debtor who was yet to pay him the remaining N17,000 of over a N100,000 debt
needed to be spiritually induced to pay up because things are hard.
Amedu reportedly resorted
to using juju against his debtor when she did not pay the debt at the stipulated
time and after Amedu had made several attempts to recover his money.
However, luck unfortunately
ran against him as people who passed by raised alarm when they saw him burying
the charm at the shop. This attracted an irate mob that tore Amedu to shreds before
help could come through the intervention of the market chairman, who brought in
the police to quell the situation.
