According to an advert on the programme, the blind herbalist was said to have mystical powers to heal the sick and see visions about people’s life problems.
In desperation for a solution, Madam Alimot took the herbalist’s phone number and address.
She left her home in the Mowe area of Ogun State, to visit the herbalist in Ogijo also in Ogun state.
Unknown to her, that’s the beginning of her financial problem.
The blind herbalist reportedly told the woman that she needed an atonement requiring a sacrifice with a cow because death was hovering around her household.
Madam Alimot provided the amount requested for the cow which is to be used for sacrifice. That was the beginning of chains of subsequent requests for additional money for sacrifices.
By the time she was able to get herself, the blind herbalist had defrauded her of N19 million after selling two of her buildings.
The suspect had also slept with her daughter and granddaughter on several occasions.
The homeless woman and her children are asking for a refund of the money the herbalist allegedly defrauded them of.
