Lady dies after taking ‘spiritual’ concoction
The victim, Rahamat Audu, was said to have died after taking the concoction.
Dominic, who heads the Celestial Church of Christ, Jesusegun parish, Santana bus stop, Ajangbadi, was paraded by the police on Monday alongside the deceased’s boyfriend, Ifeanyi Enyinna, for alleged conspiracy and murder.
It was gathered that 25-year-old Rahamat lived with her boyfriend on Lekan Street, Shibiri.
According to the boyfriend, the deceased had on Thursday complained of having a cough and went to the church to seek a spiritual solution.
There, she was allegedly given the concoction
which reportedly made her feel better for a while before her condition got
worse.
He said, “On Friday, on my way to the market, the
younger brother of the prophet called and told me that my girlfriend was not
feeling fine.
“I met her in a very bad condition and I asked the
prophet what the problem was. He told me that I needed to pay N1,500 for a
spiritual work and she would also need to be on a drip. The prophet’s wife is a
nurse and she told me that the cost of administering the drip would be N5,000.
“Before I knew it, she had defecated on herself. I
took her to the bathroom to clean her up. On the way back from the bathroom,
she fell and died.”
The Commissioner of Police, Edgal Imohimi, said
the command received a complaint from the deceased’s brother, Ibrahim Audu, on
May 19, 2018.
He said, “Following the development, detectives
moved to the scene where the prophet and the deceased’s boyfriend were
arrested. Recovered at the church were native sponges, some bottles of
perfumes, candlesticks, and the concoction which was administered to the
victim.
“The suspects have been transferred to the
Homicide Section of the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence
Department, where evidence will be collated and properly analysed. The suspects
will be charged to court for murder.
“The corpse has been deposited in a mortuary for
an autopsy, while a sample of the concoction has been sent to a laboratory for
analysis.”
