An herbalist, Amos
Sulaimon, arrested alongside his client Supo Bamidele in Osun State, has told
newsmen that he told his client to bring a human head and wrists in order to
discourage him from engaging in money ritual.
Sulaimon, who was paraded
by the Osun State Commissioner of Police, Mr Fimihan Adeoye, in Osogbo,
alongside his client, said he had never been involved in money rituals, Punch
Metro reports.
Adeoye told journalists
that Bamidele was caught with a severed head and wrist in Ile-Ife, and upon his
arrest, he told the police that his herbalist asked him to bring the human
parts for ritual.
Explaining what transpired
between him and his client, Sulaimon stated,
“I am an herbalist and I
live and work in Ile-Ife. Bamidele had been coming to me to seek spiritual
assistance. I inherited this job from my father and we don’t engage in money
rituals.
“I don’t do evil nor engage
in money rituals. In the last four months, Bamidele had been disturbing me for
spiritual assistance, because he claimed that his business was not doing well
and that he wanted a charm that could improve his fortunes.
“Because he would not allow
me to rest, I told him to bring a human head and wrist. It was a ploy to scare
him away. I never knew he would go to the extent of looking for the items.”
Responding to questions
from journalists, Bamidele, who sells planks, said he resorted to
fortune-changing charms because he was not doing well in the business.
Bamidele added that his
wife and children had left him because he could not provide for their needs.
He added that he exhumed a
corpse at a burial ground in Onikooko area of Ile-Ife, severed the head and
wrist, and headed for the residence of the herbalist.
“I was, however, caught
inside a tricycle that I took while going to my herbalist’s house. I didn’t
know any of the people buried in the cemetery; I just went there and took the
parts that I needed,” he stated.
