It was reported that some vital organs from her body were grounded and mixed with a lotion which the pastor used in order to get rich quickly.
William Aya who is the spokesperson of the Kogi state police command confirmed the incident.

When she failed to return to the hotel after three days, the attendant became apprehensive and reported to the headquarters of the police command.
After they were arrested, the pastor reportedly confessed to the crime blaming it on poverty.
He said he could not wait for God’s time which was why he and his accomplices chose to engage in money ritual that was supposed to yield N2.5 million.

The police said a manhunt has been launched to apprehend the fourth suspect.
