A middle aged woman, Gloria Sule, has
been allegedly duped by a fake
spiritualist, Francis Kalu, after she
allegedly paid N2.1m to him to prepare
charms for her to become famous in the
Nigerian movie industry.
The incident, which happened in
Lagos State, western Nigeria, has
pitched Gloria against Kalu after the
charms failed.
Apart from allegedly defrauding her,
Kalu invaded her privacy by
stripping and bathing her under the
false pretence of empowering her
spiritually.
Trouble started after Gloria
discovered that she had been duped.
When she requested for the refund
of her money, Kalu refused and the
police had to be contacted to wade
into the matter.
According Gloria, she was introduced
to Kalu whose shrine is located at
Abule Ado area of Lagos.
During the encounter, Kalu asked
her to request what she wanted to
achieve in life and she told him that
she needed spiritual empowerment
to become a popular movie star.
Kalu promised to fulfill her dream
and told her that she would pay the
amount and thereafter she would
embark on spiritual exercise to
equip her.
He told her the rituals involved him
stripping and bathing her with some
spiritual materials which she agreed
after paying the money.
To convince her, Kalu gave her a
time frame when she would
accomplish her desire.
Gloria waited in vain as all the
promises failed and the police had to
be invited to arrest Kalu. After
investigation, he was charged to
Ejigbo Magistrate’s court.
The police at Area ‘M’ Command,
Idimu, that arrested Kalu charged
him with breach of contract,
invading her privacy, fraud and
stealing under the Criminal Code.
When Kalu was arraigned in court,
he pleaded not guilty.
The presiding Magistrate, Mrs J.O.E.
Adeyemi granted him bail with two
sureties in like sum
He was remanded in prison custody
at Kirikiri pending when he would
fulfill his bail condition.
The matter was adjourned till 21
September, 2015.
