A 14 -year -old boy, identified as Okonkwo Obinna Emmanuel, allegedly died while trying bulletproof charms in the state of Edo.
Daily Post met that the incident occurred in the village of Iyamu in the Ilushi community in Ubiaja, the local government area of Southeast of the State on April 2, 2025.
He met that the minor's death was reported to the police by his older brother, Okonkwo Onyenbuchi.
A source, which revealed this to journalists on anonymity, said that a self -clapped native doctor, identified as Amechi Edozunor, in collaboration with a Kelvin Ugru, supposedly made a charm of the victim to make it “invulable to the bottles.”
He explained that during the ritual, the suspects hit the child's head with a bottle in an attempt to prove the effectiveness of charm, which caused a fatal head injury.
He added that the victim was urgently taken to a nearby hospital where he received treatment, but then died on April 5, 2025.
The source revealed that the deceased's remains have been deposited in the hospital morgue for autopsy.
However, the source added that two suspects, including the self -clapped native doctor, identified as Amechi Edozunor, and a Kelvin Ugru, have been arrested in relation to the death of the child.
It was learned that suspects are currently being arrested in police custody for greater investigation.
