On getting home, I called my friend, Akinyemi Akinlolu to help me test the charm on my son. I provided gun, the charm, and other logistics. He shot my son and he was almost killed.
” I actually took the steps to protect my son from some suspected Fulani herdsmen who usually terrorising our area because my son used to come back home late. So I wanted to protect him from being killed by the Fulani,” he said.
