Haba! See the SHOCKING reason this man sued this'native doctor'


A 40-year-old man, Yusuf Afolabi, has appeared before an Ikorodu Magistrates’ Court for allegedly failing to exorcise evil spirits tormenting one Emenaka Anayo.

Afolabi, who claimed to be a herbalist, allegedly collected N70, 000 from Anayo to do the job.

The accused, however, pleaded not guilty to the four-count bordering on fraud, stealing and possession of fake currency before Magistrate A. Oshodi-Makanju.

The prosecutor, Sgt. Kemi Adeniran, told the court that the offence was committed between November and December 2016, at No. 12, Oba Oyefusi St., Ikorodu, Lagos.


She said Afolabi fraudulently collected over N70, 000 from Anayo on the pretext that he would exorcise the evil spirits tormenting him.

Adeniran averred that the accused knew that the representation of himself as someone who could cure his victim of evil spirits was false.

She said, “He did not exorcise Anayo of the evil spirits after collecting over N70,000 from him, the accused therefore stole over N70, 000 belonging to Anayo.”

Adeniran also said that the accused was arrested while in possession of 53 fake American Dollars of different denominations.

According to the prosecutor the offence contravened Sections 17 and 285 of the Criminal Code, Cap 17 Vol. II Law of Lagos State 2004 and Section 327 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State 2011.

The magistrate granted the accused bail in the sum of N50, 000 with two responsible sureties in like sum and adjourned the case to Feb. 9, for mention.
