Betrayal: Man Sells Best Friend To Ritualist For ₦5,000 (Video)
By Benjamin Abioye

A chilling and deeply disturbing incident has emerged from Ogun State, where a man reportedly sold his best friend to a ritualist for just ₦5,000, resulting in the victim’s gruesome murder.
The shocking crime, which saw the victim’s head sold for a mere ₦20,000, was revealed in a viral video.
In the video, which has quickly gone viral on X (formerly Twitter), the police were seen parading multiple suspects.
Among them was the man who confessed to orchestrating the horrific deal with a herbalist. The ritualist, who also admitted his involvement, was shown in the video detailing his role in the gruesome act.
The victim, initially lured by a fake job offer on a farm, was killed upon arrival, and his head was later sold to the ritualist.
The disturbing nature of this crime highlights the growing issue of ritual killings in Nigeria, where individuals are often lured and exploited in the name of superstition. The fact that the victim’s head was sold for only ₦20,000 further underscores the extreme depravity of this crime, raising alarm in the community.
Authorities have promised to investigate the matter further and ensure that all those involved are held accountable for their actions. As the video continues to circulate, public outrage has only intensified, prompting calls for better measures to combat ritual killings and prevent similar crimes in the future.
