Mallam Shehu, an Islamic cleric has been
accused of attempting to use his 20-year-old lover Busayo Amdalat, for
money ritual in Badagry area of Lagos state.
The cleric, popularly called Alhaji Sambo had been paid a visit by the victim, who came from Ibeju-Lekki to celebrate the Christmas holiday when the incident occurred.
According to Vanguard, the incident started on Monday morning at Mowo
II, a suburb of Olorunda local council development area of Badagry when
a visitor known as Ifa came to visit the cleric and the pair asked
Busayo to put on a white cloth.
It was gathered that immediately she did this, the cleric and his accomplice hit the unsuspecting lady with an iron rod on her head and it when Ifa was slashing the victim’s throat that she mustered courage to hit the ritualist on the head with a bottle and ran to a nearby street where a carnival was taking place.
As at the time she was sighted by some residents, she had been drenched in a pool of blood with injuries inflicted on her neck and other parts of her body, and was quickly rushed her to an undisclosed hospital in the area by the good Samaritans.
While narrating the ordeal, Taiwo Abdulraman, one of the residents of the area said: “We quickly mobilised and went after him, when we got to his house, we saw blood in parts of the building. There were lots of charms and other fetish substances in his house.
“We saw the iron rod and the sharp knife he used on her, but we didn’t meet him in the house. We also quickly mobilized and went to his second house at MTN Bus Stop, but he was nowhere to be found.”
Amadalat, when contacted at the hospital, explained her side of the story.
She said: “We both had a quarrel before now for close to three weeks. I knew his first wife before she died but the second wife did not want him (Sambo) to marry me but he resolved that he was going to marry me. I even got pregnant for him but he rejected the pregnancy at some point in time.
“I went to report him to a Muslim cleric but the cleric said
there was nothing he could do to convince my lover to accept the
pregnancy. For about two months, I did not call Sambo and because of the
issue, I changed my telephone number.
“So, yesterday, Sambo and a man called Ifa were having a discussion in his house. Before I knew it, he started taking lots of alcohol, when I cautioned him; he refused to listen to me. He even offered me some but I rejected it.
“Later that night, he asked me to wrap myself in a white clothing of which I obliged. The man called Ifa wanted to use a cloth to cover my face and in the process, Sambo came in with an iron rod and hit me on the head. I shouted but nobody heard me because it was a bushy area.
“Ifa and Sambo attacked me with a knife but I managed to lock myself in a room. I now lied to them I had called one of the neighbours, it was in that process that they left and I managed to escape from the house.”
