A 19-year-old self-acclaimed native doctor has been arrested by the Edo State Police Command for killing his client while testing a bulletproof charm.
Gatekeepers News reports that the incident occurred on August 20 at Onumu Community, Akoko-Edo Local Government Area of Edo State.
According to the State Police Command spokesman, SP Moses Yamu, the victim, Alex Ezekiel, approached the suspect for a charm that would protect him from gunshots and cutlass attacks.
After preparing the charm, the native doctor attempted to test its efficacy by shooting the deceased with a gun.
Unfortunately, the victim sustained fatal injuries and was rushed to Ifejola Hospital, Igarra, where he was pronounced dead by a medical doctor.
Yamu stated that the suspect would face prosecution once the investigation is concluded.
