There was pandemonium in Mowo 11, Olorunda Local Council Development Area of Badagry, Lagos State, on Tuesday following alleged attempt by an Islamic cleric identified as Mallam Shehu, also known as Alhaji Sambo to use his 20-year-old lover, Busayo Amdalat, for money ritual.
It was learnt that Amdalat, who resides in Ibeju-Lekki, visited the cleric to spend the Christmas holidays.
According to sources, in the early hours of Tuesday the cleric had another visitor known as Ifa.
Following Ifa’s visit, Amdalat was asked to put on a white cloth and when she did, Shehu and his visitor hit her with an iron rod on her head and Ifa started slashing her throat.
The 20-year-old was said to have gathered courage by hitting Ifa on the head with a bottle while he was cutting her throat after which she ran to a nearby street where a carnival was going on.
