58 year Old Nigerian Babalawo(Witch Doctor) Sentenced To 14 Years Imprisonment In The US

Fifty-eight-year-old Nigerian man, Christopher Omigie, who is
a self-acclaimed witch doctor, has been sentenced to 14 years
in a US federal prison for providing drug traffickers with
magical and “supernatural” protection.

At a court hearing on April 30, prosecutors told the presiding
judge, Judge Marcia Crone, that Omigie presented himself to
drug traffickers as a witch doctor who had the powers to
prevent them from being arrested while they
smuggled banned drugs and was paid “hundreds of thousands
of dollars” to give supernatural protection from law
enforcement.
“Omigie was consulted by drug traffickers in the Cesar Barrera
and David Bazan drug trafficking organisations on a daily
basis and before, during and after each drug transaction.
“The supernatural protections rendered involved card readings,
massages (by Omigie) with magic ointments, cutting of the
skin with razor blades and the topical application of magic
powder, the use of magic amulets, magic belts, magic
coconuts and magic rocks (that those being treated were
required to talk to).”
According to the prosecutors, Omigie demanded the smugglers
not to have sex or take a shower after they had applied his
magical products so they will “not diminish the potency” of
his work.
“Magic ‘law stay-away’ candles were also burned in order to
protect drug traffickers from law enforcement detection.
Omigie would regularly return to Africa, at drug traffickers’
expense, to re-new his supernatural powers.”
