A 46-year-old man,
Sunday Oyeagbu, an acclaimed spiritualist who specialises in concocting
charms and ‘success rings’ for clients, has been arrested by the police.
Mr. Oyeagbu
allegedly used his temple, called Sanctuary, at Salawu Street,
Surulere, to defraud one Ibrahim Shetima, a businessman based in
Adamawa State of N150, 000. Mr. Shetima allegedly paid the said amount
to the suspect for a charm that would make his debtors pay him back the
cash they owed him.
Unfortunately, the
charm did not bring Mr. Shetima any good luck with his debtors and
after waiting a while for the charm to work, he reported the suspect to
the Surulere police station.
Potent or not
At the Adeniji
Adele police station, Federal SARS Annex, Mr. Oyeagbu said his charms
are potent, stating that he cannot be held responsible for any failure
regarding his concoctions.
“This problem
started in 2008. One Shetima Ibrahim came to me and said he saw my
advert on the newspaper that some people who collected goods from him
have refused to pay and I should do a charm for him so that all those
people owing him will pay him.
“I charged him
N150, 000, which he paid, and I prepared him the concoction. He went
back to Adamawa State and after four months, he came back to say that
the charm did not work, that none of his debtors had paid him the
money. I asked him if he followed all my instructions and he said yes,
then I told him to be patient that the concoction will work, but he did
not believe me. He went straight to the Surulere police station and I
was picked up,” he said.
Mr. Oyeagbu added:
“This is the first time that one of my clients will come and say that
my charms do not work for them. I solve different problems of life. I
spent six years to learn this spiritual powers and how to use it to
help people, from one Alhaji in Kano State in 2004.”
He also claimed to have repaid some of the said amount he had received.
“I do not know why
the police are parading me as a criminal today because I have paid Mr.
Shetima some part of his money. Moreover this case was charged to court
and after a while, Mr. Shetima called me and said that we should settle
out of court. We met outside the court at Bode Thomas and signed an
agreement that I should pay back his money. He asked me to bring N100,
000 but I told him I do not have. I gave him N30, 000 but I have not
paid him the remaining balance,” he said.
Israel Ajao, the
deputy inspector of police (DIG) in charge of Area D, said Mr. Oyeagbu
is in police custody for alleged fraudulent practices.
“This man is been held for alleged fraud. He is one of those who
cheat others in the name of God. You can see the cross and other
ingredients he used for his business. His arrest will serve as a
deterrent to people who use the name of God for fraudulent means.”
