 Officials of the Lagos Command of EFCC have captured two self-acclaimed spiritualists, one Alfa Abiodun Ibrahim and Wale Adifala, who alongside one Ifawole Ajibola (otherwise known as Baba Kalifa are right now on the run), supposedly schemed to swindle a hopeful House of Representatives member in Ekiti State, of the total amount of N24,071,000 which they claimed was to be used to get spiritual assistance for the political ambition.

They were captured on July 7, 2022 in Ado-Ekiti, Ekiti State, following a petition against them, claiming that subsequent to gathering the said total, the entire endeavors reached a dead conclusion.

Under cross examination by agents, Adifala, confessed to collecting the cash from their victim, including N2.9 million, which he claimed was utilized in purchasing black, brown and white cows, rams, lavender perfume, rings among different things, to carry out sacrifices at various times.

"I also linked up on the matter with Ifawole Ajibola, and we continued with the sacrifices together, until we were arrested by EFCC," he said.

 

 

Ibrahim, who was the one who had prior contact with the victim, admitted collecting money at different times.

 

"Our own is just to pray and do the necessary sacrifices, which we did, and to leave the rest to God, however, along the line, the zoning for the Reps seat was taken away from Oye-Ekiti to Ikole-Ekiti," he said.

 

The suspects were arrested along with some of their instruments of trade.
