“They took him to a river in Osun State all in a bid to extract more money from him.
“The victim reported to the police when he realised what was happening. They were promptly arrested.”
In a video shared by Edafe, the victim explained that one of the suspects approached him, claiming to have seen a bright future around him, and requested that he purchase coconut and salt.
The victim stated in part, “A day came when one guy saw me. He said that he saw a bright future around me, He said there is one thing he is going to do for me.
“He said I should buy coconut and salt, and that I will give him the coconut, and he will take it to three junctions to pray for me.”
