A desire to become an overnight millionaire has led to the death of a young man, named Peter Albert in Ogun State.
Albert, 20, went through a money-making ritual that went awry in the Ado-Odo/Ota Local Government Area of Ogun State about three weeks ago.
The Nation reported that Albert, in his quest to become rich sought the counsel of one of his friends, named David.
David, 18, introduced Albert to a Muslim cleric, Alfa Araokanmi, for a money-making ritual.
They first chatted on WhatsApp until the boy later visited Alfa Araokanmi in his house.
Alfa Araokanmi reportedly promised to do some ritual that would make Albert a successful internet fraudster.
The source said that Araokanmi told the deceased that he would ingest concoctions and bath at midnight for some days after which he should expect a ghost that would give him a sum of N5 million every day.
Albert subsequently started keeping late nights to conform to the requirements of the rituals much to the alarm of his father who reported him to the local vigilante group.
The money ritual, however, went awry when he returned home about three weeks ago, after another nocturnal outing, panting and weak.
Before his death moments later, Albert reportedly explained all that transpired between him and Araokanmi to his father.
He also told his dad to check his mobile phone for the exchanges between him and the cleric on WhatsApp.
That was how their secret became open knowledge. The father has reportedly taken up the matter. But there is no information as to whether he had reported the matter to the police at the time of filing this report.
