Man shoots son dead in failed ‘bullet proof’ charm test

NOT REAL PICTURE (PICTURE TAKEN FROM BBC.CO.UK)

This took place in Benue state. I kinda of wonder why people still think that stuffs like this really work.

According to the  the police, the suspect and father of the ten- year- old had, in August 2012, bought some charm from a native doctor with the belief that it was potent enough to prevent the penetration of bullets into his body.

He was said to have rubbed his ‘bullet proof’ cream on the body of his son in order to verify  its efficacy and potency in line with the instructions of the native doctor from whom he bought the charm.

According to the FIR,  Adega fired a shot with his single barrel gun on the right leg of his son following which the bullet shattered the leg and also penetrated through to the left leg.

The boy was said to have bled profusely but before his shocked and devastated father could get proper medical attention for him, the little boy bled to death.

Sunday Vanguard gathered that the suspect, who was  immediately apprehended by men of the Benue State Police Command, is currently facing trial at a Makurdi Chief Magistrate Court.
