A victim of One-Chance robbery in Owerri, Miss Joy Ononuju, a Point Of Sale (POS) attendant, has cautioned the public especially residents of Owerri, to be vigilant of the activities of One-Chance robbers who she said use charms to rob their ignorant or absent-minded victims of their money or other valuables.
The victim, Miss Joy Ononuju, who narrated her ordeal in the hands of the One-Chance robbers at Naze, Owerri North, last week, told News Echo that she met some strangers while coming back from work at Douglas, Owerri, who asked her for direction and after she had directed them, they hypnotized her and asked her to come to a certain place at Naze for deliverance prayer the next day as someone had demonized her not to progress in life, but warned her not to divulge the appointment to anyone.
“When I got home that day”, the victim continued, “I was weak. I could not get myself. I told my roommate that I was not feeling good. She opted to pray for me, but could not as my phone rang. Behold it was one of the criminals who told me to keep the secret else I die. I was afraid. He called me again in the morning immediately after my oga whom I work for gave me two hundred and fifty thousand naira. I went straight to the church place as scheduled and I was deceived and the money, my phone and my bag disappeared. The criminals vanished into the thin air. I fainted and was resuscitated. They were five men who pretended they came for prayer. They read the bible as they prayed for me”.
She confided that her oga mandated her to pay her back his money otherwise he would get her arrested. “But all plea rendered to him to forgive me failed. My parents are economically poor and I’m totally devastated by this ugly demonic development”.
She however called on government to look into the activities of these men of the underworld to save lives, as well as maintain sanity, peace and relaxation in the society.
