ESPIKWKWELE!!! Man ‘Charmed’ By His Girlfriend’s Mother, Runs Mad
A 62-year-0ld businesswoman, Adewumi Sanusi, allegedly charmed her daughter’s boy friend with concocted substance to drink.
The woman, who resides at No. 15, Balogun Street, Oshodi, Lagos, appeared in Ikeja Magistrates’ Court on Thursday in Lagos, facing a two -count charge of conspiracy and trial by ordeal.
The prosecutor, Sgt. Joseph Ajebe, told the court that Mrs. Sanusi conspired with one Alfa Osa, a Muslim cleric, currently at large to commit the offence on Nov. 19 at about 7.45 p.m at shop 5, Ariyibi, Oke- Oshodi, Lagos State.
Ajebe said the defendant claimed that the complainant, Mbanude Ogochukwu, stole her daughter’s laptop from shop when he came on a visit. The prosecutor added that the defendant consulted Alfa Osa, who made some incantations inside water and forced Ogochukwu to drink it. He said “Ogochukwu ran mad immediately after taking the water.” The prosecutor stated that the accused refused to stabilise and return Ogochukwu to a sane person, hence the report.
