Rachael Godwin, a 32-year-old physiotherapist, has recounted how her boyfriend used her pants for money ritual.
.
The lady who works at the National Orthopedic Hospital, Yaba, Lagos, alleged that her boyfriend, Olumide, alongside his partner-in-crime, forced her to wear the pants, which he used for the ritual.
The lady said she met and fell in love with the suspect in January 2018, in a BRT. “I guess he must have hypnotized me such that I really don’t know what I was doing then. I gave him my entire savings. .
.
He even lodged in a hotel for four months and I paid a bill of N185,000 at Ketu Kosofe. He later took me to his father at Ikosi. They live in a very unhealthy environment, which I pitied them and offered to help. .
.
I rented a house for myself in November 2018 and he visited me in the house that same month. On December 12, when he visited me, he said he wanted to buy a Venza, I asked him how much and when he googled it, he said it was N11.8 million. .
.
I asked him how would he raise the money and he said we should open a joint account. I took my house document to get a loan and even promised to gather all I had from my cooperative bank account. .
.
My trouble started on December 14, 2018, when he came to my house and gave me a pant to wear. I told him that I can’t wear the pant because I was not comfortable. .
.
He went to call one of my neighbour named Helen, who helped him to force me to wear the pants. After which I ran mad and was taken to my mother’s house. .
.
They took me to Ibadan for treatment and I became better. I did not suspect him then. I kept relating with him. On December 31, I went to a church for Thanksgiving. .
.
I was given some prayers to follow up every midnight. He came back to me and was still living with me. While I was praying in January, Olumide started shouting, stop praying they have wired the money, it is only $2,000 from Alaska in USA.”
.
.
Confessing, Olumide admitted he received the $2,000, buy kept mute when asked to react to the allegation of panties ritual. Meanwhile, the case is being investigated by the Lagos police.
