A spiritualist (Alfa) and a herbalist have landed themselves in trouble following the failure of their spiritual power to deliver a House of Representatives aspirant in Ekiti State the ticket of his party.

Together with other accomplices, they collected the sum of N24,071,000 from the aspirant with a promise to deliver the ticket to him as well as give him more spiritual powers to dominate in life.

The charm failed and their client took the matter to the operatives of the Lagos Command of EFCC who have arrested the two self-acclaimed spiritualists, one Alfa Abiodun Ibrahim and Wale Adifala, who along with one  Ifawole Ajibola (aka Baba Kalifa currently on the run), allegedly conspired to defraud the aspirant.

The money, they claimed, was to be used to secure spiritual help for his political ambition.

They were arrested on July 7, 2022 in Ado-Ekiti, Ekiti State, following a petition against them, alleging that after collecting the said sum, the whole efforts came to a dead end.

Under interrogation by operatives, Adifala, admitted to collecting the sums of money from their victim, including N2.9 million, which he claimed was used to buy black, brown and white cows, rams, lavender perfume, rings among other items, to carry out sacrifices at different times.

“I also linked up on the matter with Ifawole Ajibola, and we continued with the sacrifices together, until we were arrested by EFCC,” he said.

Ibrahim, who was the one who had prior contact with the victim, , admitted collecting money at different times.

“Our own is just to pray and do the necessary sacrifices, which we did, and to leave the rest to God, however, along the line, the zoning for the Reps seat was taken away from Oye-Ekiti to Ikole-Ekiti,” he said.

They were arrested along with some of their instruments of trade.
