A laundry firm operator, identified as Emeka Chukwuemeka, has confessed to how he was given human blood by his pastor to drink so that he can become a millionaire. Chukwuemeka was arrested by SARS operatives after his neighbours got tired of the stench from his shop at Oregun area of Lagos state.
Chukwuemeka said: “I was in my shop, working one fateful day when my friend, Pastor Johnson, came to me. He said that he noticed I had been working as a drycleaner for long, but had made little or no money. That was how the conversation started. The pastor told me that there were young boys, not up to my age, who made it through the work they did, but also with the support of rituals. He said that I should face reality.
“The pastor promised to assist me to overcome all my challenges. He asked me to get N5,000 ready. I rallied round and got the money for him. I didn’t know that what he was going to give me was human blood. He instructed me to drink the blood for three days, after which I would stop, and then wait for the result. I took it twice, I couldn’t continue. I couldn’t bear the stench of the blood. But nothing changed in my business after I drank the blood twice. I was planning to dispose the blood when some neighbours started complaining of the stench. This led to my arrest. Immediately I was arrested, the pastor’s phone line stopped going through.” According to the state Commissioner of Police, Mr. Imohimi Edgal, the suspect would be charged to court, while the fleeing pastor would be arrested.
