An accused person in court shocked the Judge in charge of his case when he stormed the legal proceeding with fetish material suspected to be charms.
An Ikeja Chief Magistrates’ Court sitting in Ogba on Friday adjourned the trial of a suspected fraudster when the accused was found to be in possession of objects suspected to be charms.
Chief Magistrate Omolade Awope had observed that the accused was feeling uncomfortable and jittery in the dock and ordered that a thorough body search be conducted on him.
Following the search, assorted objects suspected to be charms were found hidden under the dress of the 41-year-old accused, Ibrahim Umaru.
As a result of the shocking discovery, the chief magistrate deferred the trial of the suspected fraudster to June 10.
Umaru, who resides at Amodu Faronbi Street, Isolo, Lagos is facing a three-count charge of conspiracy, stealing and obtaining under false pretences.
Earlier, the Prosecutor, Insp. Ezekiel Ayorinde, had told the court that Umaru and his accomplice, Sunday Godwin, on Sept. 25, 2011 hypnotised one Okunola Salau and duped him of cash and jewellery worth N5 million.
“The duo also took him home, performed magical acts on him and threatened him not to tell anybody otherwise he will die.
“Afterwards they kept on pestering him on phone to give them money and jewellery.
“Salau later gave them gold jewellery worth N4 million before he later regained consciousness,” the prosecutor said.
The accused had pleaded not guilty to the charge and had been granted bail in the sum of N1million and two sureties.
The accused had earlier been arraigned at an Ikeja Magistrates’ Court before his case was transferred to the Chief Magistrates’ Court sitting in Ogba.

Its still better not to believe anything than claiming to believe in those fetish or juju kind of thing!, for one they are plain dump stupid and silly and for 2 its not even real, they just try to conjure some devilish spirit in hope that there is a devil somewhere to help their plight and cause some mysterious things to happen, Juju is fake, and can never be a reality,
I specialize in investigative reportage across several subject matter and sectors but mainly focus on metro events and investigation. Do leave your thoughts and opinion on my reports to let me know what you think about them. Thank you
