A woman in Ekiti State has confessed that she offered her one and half year old boy for money making rituals and dumped him in a well to die after she was brainwashed by a fake prophet.

The baby, Abdulahi Wasiu who was declared missing last Sunday was later on Tuesday found dead in a well where her mother, Opeyemi Wasiu was said to have dumped him .

The Police Post at the Ewi of Ado-Ekiti Palace witnessed large crowd that came to catch a glimpse of the evil mother who was made to carry the corpse of her baby on her head and dance.

Confessing her sins, Opeyemi said she did not know the fake prophet from Adam but the first day she met him, the man expressed pity over her condition and promised to help her to amass wealth if she was willing after which a deal was struck for her to visit the man at Ori Apata area of Ado Ekiti, a notorious place for makeshift churches.

Opeyemi said the man urged her to produce the sperm of her baby which would be used for the money making rituals but if the baby could not produce it then she should allow him to make “holy” love with her so that his own semen would be used, which she agreed on. She confessed that on two different occasions, the “holyman” committed adultery with her and later swindled her of sum amount of money while promising that the money would come from hundred thousand naira.

The prophet, she said, prepared different concoction which he put into her mouth and that of her innocent baby but the next day, the little child was declared missing. She denied knowledge of the whereabouts of her son until he was found dead in a well in Ita-Ekun area of Ado-Ekiti.

She said the “holyman” also demanded for palm oil, bitter kola and coconut. But her husband,Wasiu Bilawu, a butcher, told Daily Sun that in spite of the scandal he still trusts and loves her but only felt disappointed when he heard that she was flirting around with the prophet.
A police officer at the Police Post (name withheld) said that the man was ignorant of his wife’s illicit affair and was the person who reported the incident to the police.
