Client shot dead as teenage native doctor tests anti-bullet charm in Edo

The police in Edo have detained a 19-year-old native doctor, Timothy Dauda, for allegedly shooting his client, Alex Ezekiel, to death during an “anti-bullet” charm trial.

The command’s public relations officer, SP Moses Yamu, told journalists on Monday that the incident happened on August 20 in the Onumu community, near Igara, Akoko Edo Local Government Area of the state.

He said operatives from the Igarra Divisional Police Station in Akoko-Edo arrested the suspect.

It was gathered that the suspect allegedly claimed to specialise in preparing charms against gunshots and machete cuts.

A source further told journalists that the deceased had visited the native doctor’s home to obtain the charm.

“In a shocking turn of events”, Mr Dauda attempted to test the efficacy of the charm by shooting the client with a gun, the source said.

The charm was said to have failed as he sustained fatal injuries.

“When he was rushed to a hospital in Igarra, he was pronounced dead by a medical doctor,” the source further said.

Meanwhile, the police spokesman said the suspect would face prosecution as soon as investigations were concluded.
