of Cross River state is cooling off in police detention after he was arrested by the police for allegedly planning to kill a
client.
Before his arrest, Ndem Asuquo who is popular for making killer charms for clients in the state was beaten to pulp by
angry mobs.
Some youths in the area caught up with
the herbalist while preparing a charm to kill the town's youth leader, Bassey Nyong
who is one of his clients.
The herbalist was allegedly caught
sneaking into the incumbent youth leader's
compound at about mid-day, when the
people had gone to work, carrying a powdery substance, spraying it around,
and even making incantations in low
tone.
When those trailing him asked him
what his mission in the compound was, he
claimed he was there to say hello to the
youth leader.
However, when he was asked to explain what the powdery
substance in his possession was meant for,
he could not offer any explanation.
As the youths pounced on him, Bassey
who had followed the crowd into the
compound fled into a nearby bush.
The herbalist afterwards confessed, explaining
the circumstances surrounding his mission
in the youth leader's house.
He was later handed over to the police.
