Seye Olufokunbi, a 33-year old herbalist has narrated how he defrauded Lekan, a Lagos banker, of N2.5m.
According to PUNCH, the herbalist said he told Lekan, who worked in one of the banks on the Victoria Island, that the money was for a special soap.
He said he lied to the banker that the soap, when kept in a box for two days, would produce a lot of money.
The money magic was said to have failed, leading to a petition to the Lagos State Police Command’s Rapid Response Squad in February 2016.
The operatives were said to have trailed and arrested the suspect at his base in Ijebu Ode, Ogun State.
The suspect said he was initially selling herbs to Lekan before the banker told him to perform money ritual for him.
He said, “I have known Lekan for a long time and he is my customer. He was initially patronising me for herbs for his ailment.
“But he later approached me for money ritual, saying the money he was making as a banker was not enough for him. I said I could do it if he could give me N2.5m. He brought the money and I gave him a bar of soap. I told him to keep the soap in a box for two days, after which he should check the box and he would see a lot of money.
“He did that, but it failed, he then reported me to the police, who arrested me.”
