A 25-year old fortune teller, Ahmadu Saminu, has been arrested by Police operatives in Gombe State for allegedly impregnating a 20-year old housewife, who visited him to interpret dreams for her.
P.M.EXPRESS reports that the incident happened at Samiru, popularly known as Malam Mai Batalia House, Bajoga area in Funakaye Local Government Area of the state.
According to the Police, the suspect, Saminu, interpreted dreams and saw visions for his patrons and has a wide range of clientele base that cuts across all the LGAs, state, and other neighbouring states.
However, he landed in trouble when his victim, who was alleged to have visited him following a nightmare she experienced the night before, was hypnotised and he (Saminu) took advantage of her by having carnal knowledge of her and she eventually became pregnant.
This was disclosed by the Police Public Relations Officer, SP Buhari Abdullahi, who confirmed the incident and said that Saminu was arrested for allegedly impregnating someone’s wife.
“The victim is 20 years old. Her husband, Bashiru Bello, reported the case. She dreamt about her mother being a witch and needed an interpretation into what she said she saw only for her to visit Saminu to know what she needed to do. But she was lured into his room,” the PPRO said.
On the alleged pregnancy of the victim, Abdullahi said, “That is what we can’t say for now until the medical examination result is obtained”.
“However, the victim claimed that she was pregnant for four months but bled and, as a result, lost the pregnancy. We have taken the victim to the hospital to ascertain the allegation.”
Meanwhile, some residents of Funakaye have frowned at the alleged high-powered interest in the release of Saminu because he was said to be connected to some powerful persons, who are currently working to get him out.
