A 17-year-old boy has been handed over to the Oyo State Police Command after he was caught by teachers at St. Luke Grammar School, Molete, Ibadan, while allegedly chanting incantations on a student at a nearby bush where the student had gone to ease himself.
The action, the teachers claimed, was to kidnap the victim
According to the state Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Olabisi Okuwobi-Ilobanafor, the suspect, Chukwu Chijoke, had claimed that the charm found on him was a gift from his grandfather, which has the powers to make him command anyone to do whatever he asked them to do.
But the suspect explained that the charm posed no evil on the student.
He said the name of the charm was “Ezebinafor” and that it was a gift from his grandfather for protection and to invoke command.
