A 20-year-old self acclaimed spiritualist, Emmanuel Ebeagbor, Aka Dr Walock, has been arrested by operatives of the Edo State Police Command.
It was reported that the suspect, said to be specialized in defrauding women while pretending that he has solutions to their spiritual problems, was arrested at Uromi, by operatives of the Intelligent Rapid Response Squad.
The State Commissioner of Police, CP, Funsho Adegboye, said the suspect was arrested by the operatives in the course of investigations into a case of cyber stalking reported at the station.
Adegboye said the suspect requested the sum of N240,000 from a lady to help solve her spiritual problem.
He disclosed that after the victim transferred the money to the suspect’s bank account, he (the suspect) also demanded her nude video.
According to the CP, the suspect asked the woman to record the nude video when she is taking her bath, for spiritual cleansing, and promised to delete it after use.
“She did as he instructed and two weeks later, the suspect demanded for the sum of N400,000, and threatened to post her nude video on the internet,” he said.
The CP said during investigation, the complainant’s nude video and those of other ladies who were the suspect’s victims, were found in his phone.
He said the suspect will soon be charged to court.
In an interview with newsmen, the suspect said he introduced himself to the woman as a spiritualist, and promised to help her.
He said he had lost count of his victims as they are numerous.
