Yahoo Boy Stabs Parents Over Failure Of Black Magic Soap To Bring Expected Fortune
A 20-year-old suspected internet fraudster, Daniel Bamidele, in a fit of rage reportedly attacked and stabbed his parents because his mother refused to reveal her real name for him to activate a black magic soap designed to bring him good fortune.
The incident happened at their home in Apabielesin area of Ibadan, Oyo State on Thursday.
Osun Defender gathered that the quick intervention of bystanders saved the parents.
According to an eye witness, Daniel’s mother, Titilayo ran out of their home with serious wounds, calling for help as her son sneaked into their home and attacked her and the father with a machete.
The eye witness said the alarm attracted bystanders, some of whom rushed into the house, held Daniel down and dispossessed him of the long knife he had used to attack his parents.
The eyewitness said Daniel explained that he had been earning a living from cybercrime otherwise called Yahoo business for some time.
Daniel said: “I purposely lured my mother from a church programme she was attending, and as soon as we arrived home, I attacked her with a knife and was already inflicting cuts on her body when my father tried to save her from me.
“I attacked my father too because if I had not stabbed both of them, they would have succeeded in killing me.”
Speaking further on his reasons for attacking his mother and father with a knife, Daniel accused his mother of giving him a fake name which rendered useless the magic black soap he had secured from the priest of a white garment church.
He also noted that he made his elder brother his next of kin in his bank documentation but the same elder brother had been trying to play smart with his money.
He said: “I am a 200-level student of LAUTECH (Ladoke Akintola University of Technology) and I have built a three-bedroom bungalow from the money I made from doing yahoo business.
“I am angry with my parents, particularly my mother, for giving me a fake name instead of her real name.
“There is a particular black magic soap that I have been using lately. The soap was given to me by the priest of a white garment church named Mathew.
“I was the one who bought a generator for Pastor Mathew’s church around Ona Grammar School in Ogbomosho.
“The soap was meant to bring me good fortune, but there was the need for me to call my mother’s name into it before it could work.
“My mother told me that her name is Titilayo. But when I called the name into the soap, it did not work. Hence, I got angry and decided to stab her.”
However, Daniel’s mother, Titilayo, denied collecting any money from him.
She said: “I was called on the phone to come pick up my son from school at LAUTECH when he started exhibiting mental illness.
“When we got home, his father brought a native medicine home and gave him to use. He slept off after taking the medicine.
“However, when he woke up, he demanded the whereabouts of his phone and I told him I did not take his phone. He landed several blows on me.
“He is a liar; I did not collect any money from him.”
But Bamidele’s father accused his wife of being in the know of everything pertaining to how his son ventured into Yahoo business and how he built a house from the money he made from the fraudulent activity.
“My wife was the one that indulged him (Daniel). She knew when her son started building a house, yet she did not tell me,” he said.
