A 32-year old man, Esuong Prince, has been arrested in Lagos State after he reportedly used some diabolical powers, went to a bank in order to hypnotise the Bank Manager to transfer customer’s N50m into his own account but the charms eventually failed. 

P.M.EXPRESS reports that the incident happened at the First Bank PLC branch, Orile area of Lagos, where Mrs. Elizabeth Sede was employed as the Branch Manager.  

The suspect was said to have known that such amount was in the account before he prepared and went to the Manager and attempted to lure her to transfer the money belonging to one Virginia Onusulukwu into his own account. 

According to Police sources, the suspect, Prince, had hoped that with the charms he possessed, he would be able to manipulate and confuse the Bank Manager to authorize the release of the money but it turned out that the said spiritual power was unable to work on the Manager, who was said to have realized his criminal intent and contacted the Police.

He was arrested and after thorough interrogation and being found culpable, the Police charged him before the Ogba Magistrates Court for the alleged attempted fraud.

When he was arraigned, he pleaded not guilty. 

The prosecutor,  Supol Bisi Ogunleye, asked the Court to give a date for hearing since he pleaded not guilty to enable the Police to prove that he actually committed the alleged offence. 

The Presiding Magistrate, Mr. J.A. Adegun, granted him bail in the sum of N500,000 with two sureties in like sum, who must show evidence of means of livelihood. 

The Court remanded him in the Correctional Centre at Kirikiri town, Lagos, pending when he will perfect his bail conditions while the matter was adjourned till 26th June, 2022, for mention.
