A 32-year old physiotherapist, Rachael Godwin, has told how she became unconscious after wearing the pant bought for her by her boyfriend .
Godwin who described her boyfriend as a fraudster ‘yahoo boy’ said her boyfriend wanted to use her for money making rituals.
The lady who works with the National Orthopedic Hospital, Yaba, Lagos , alleged that her boyfriend, Olumide, and his accomplice forced her to wear the pant.
The victim who narrated her ordeals at the police command Headquarters, Ikeja, said that she met and fell in love with the suspect in January 2018.
She said : “I met Olumide in January 2018. I work at Igbobi as a physiotherapist at National Orthopedic hospital. I met him in a BRT bus from Ilorodu to Ikeja. One day, he directed me on how to get to the police headquarters. During which we exchanged contact. We kept in touch for a while and he later told me he had STD , which I treated him. We became close and then lovers. I guess he must have hypnotised me such that I really don’t know what I was doing then. I gave him my entire savings, he even lodged in a hotel for four months and I paid the bill of N185, 000 .
“He later took me to his father at Ikosi. They live in a very unhealthy environment. I pitied them and offered to help. I rented a house for myself in November 2018 and he visited me in the house that same month. On December 12, 2019 when he visited me, he said he wanted to buy an SUV , Venza , I asked him how much and when he googled it, he said it was N11. 8 million. I asked him how we would raise the money and he said we should open a joint account. I took my house document to get a loan and even promised to gather all I had from my cooperative bank account. My trouble started on December 14, 2018, when he came to my house and gave me one of my pants to wear.
I told him that I won’t wear the pant because I was not comfortable. He went to call one of my neighbors, Helen, who helped him to force me to wear the pant. After which I ran mad and I was taken to my mother’s house. They took me to Ibadan for treatment and I became better. I did not suspect him then. I kept relating to him. On December 31, 2018, I went to a church for Thanksgiving. I was given some prayers to follow up every midnight. He came back to me and was still living with me. While I was praying this January, Olumide started shouting, stop praying they have wired the money, it is only $2,000 from Alaska in the USA. It was while I was praying and releasing fire that he started shouting that I should stop praying. It was a the time that I started reasoning that the pant he forced me to wear was for rituals .
The suspect , Olumide , said that he was shocked to discover that the 2,000 dollars only amounted to N750,000.
He alleged that he gave Helen N300, 000 and gave another man some money.
Meanwhile the case is being investigated at the Command Headquarters, while the suspect is still in detention.
