A Chief Magistrate’s Court in Osogbo has remanded a 31-year-old man, Suleimon Olamide, labeled a “fake herbalist,” for allegedly defrauding a victim of N12.5 million.
Olamide was arraigned on three counts of fraud and theft. Prosecution counsel Elisha Olusegun told the court the defendant was hired by Mufutau Mosuru to dig a well, during which Olamide claimed to have a vision that Mosuru’s mother was plotting to kill him.
To avert the supposed threat, Olamide convinced Mosuru to pay for ritual rites. The prosecution stated these actions violated sections of the state’s criminal law.
Olamide pleaded not guilty. Magistrate Dr. Olusegun Ayilara ordered him remanded in Ilesa Correctional Centre until the next hearing on March 26, 2026.
