A 26-year-old suspected rit¥ali§t identified as Franklin Akinyosuyi, says he bathed with a human sk¥ll for a month to boost patronage of his businesses.
According to the Cable, Akinyosuyi, a photographer and owner of a clothing store, confessed that untold h@rdsh#p and low patronage made him turn to r#t¥als.
“I am a photographer and I own a boutique as well. It was last year that my uncle took me to a herbalist.
I explained to him that my business wasn’t moving well, so he asked me to pay N200,000 to make a conc@ction for me which I paid within three weeks.
After he was done, he called me to come pick it up and that was last year in November. He directed that I should be bathing with the human h£ad every Thursday at exactly 1 am. I used it for a month but didn’t see any difference in my business. So, I had to call the herbalist and tell him to refund my money.
I also asked him to come and pick up the human h£ad as well but he refused to come and pick it up, but he had started refunding my money because he already sent me N20,000. So, on that fat£ful day, I decided to go and throw it away, so I dropped it in my backyard.
Unfortunately, I went out and before I could return, my landlord’s children saw it, informed their father and they ultimately called the police,” he said when paraded by the police in Ondo state.
The police spokesperson in Ondo, Funmilayo Odunlami-Omisanya, said Akinyosuyi was reported to the police by his landlord following his suspicious activities.
“The suspect was chall£nged by his landlord for keeping a bag in a corner of the compound and the landlord was suspicious and asked the young man to open the bag.
When he did, a human sk¥ll was found in the bag. After he was arrested, he claimed it was given to him by a native doctor in Osun state,” Odunlami-Omisanya said.
