I Wanted to Use My Sister’s Son for Ritual So That I’ll Have Money to Send Him to School – Fabiyi
The Ekiti State Police Command has arrested a 23-year-old man, Solomon Fabiyi, for allegedly attempting to use his seven-year-old nephew, Jomiloju, for a money ritual.
Fabiyi, who was paraded by the police, confessed that he planned to use the boy for ritual purposes so he could become wealthy and fund the child’s education.
In a video posted by TVC News, Fabiyi admitted to journalists that a herbalist had instructed him to find someone for the ritual. According to him, the herbalist assured him that the boy would not die but would only fall seriously ill as a result of the ritual.
“I wanted to use the boy for a ritual. The herbalist told me that he wouldn’t die after the ritual, but he would get sick. However, I already promised that after using him for the ritual and starting to make money, I would send him to school and cover all his expenses,” Fabiyi confessed.
When asked if he understood that his actions were wrong, Fabiyi admitted guilt but insisted that his intention was not to kill the boy. “They said he wouldn’t die after using him for the ritual. Also, I decided to use him because I would have money to send him to school and take care of all his expenses,” he stated.
He further claimed that his decision was influenced by a spiritual problem. According to him, he had been hearing strange voices urging him to go through with the ritual.
“Since last year, some strange voices have been speaking to me in my mind, telling me to use the boy for a ritual. I’ve been trying to resist, but the voices kept telling me to go through with it,” he added.
