THE operatives of Amotekun Corps in Osun State have arrested a 35-year-old man for allegedly using charm to abduct and sleep with a married woman for three weeks.
It was gathered that the suspect, one Babalola Timothy, allegedly used a charmed magic ring to hypnotize the married woman, identified as Sofiyat because she refused to date him.
The spokesperson for Osun Amotekun Corps, Yusuf Idowu, disclosed in a statement on Wednesday that the suspect ordered Sofiyat to leave her husband’s house and join him at his Modakeke residence where he had sex with her every day for three weeks.

According to Idowu, luck ran out of the suspect last week Friday when he took the victim to Campus Area in Ile-Ife and abandoned her by the roadside.
After abandoning her, the woman regained her consciousness and raised the alarm; and after listening to her ordeal in the hands of Babalola, the Amotekun corps trailed the suspect to Sekona where he was arrested.
The statement added, “The suspect confessed that sometime in September 2023, the victim, Sofiyat, approached him to help her sell her palm oil because that is the business he does.
“Along the line, he asked her out, but she refused him, saying she was married. Babalola later approached a herbalist in Sekona, who gave him some charms. Since using the charm on her, he claimed that the woman had been listening and following his command.
“He used the charm to control and made Sofiyat leave her husband’s house. When the woman arrived at Babalola’s house in Modakeke, he changed her sim card. All that happened within three weeks, and he was sleeping with her randomly during the period.
“The victim also confirmed she had approached the suspect to help her sell palm oil. He asked her out, but she refused. Later, Babalola called and directed her to meet him in Modakeke. When she got to Modakeke, he removed the SIM card from her phone and replaced it with a new one.
“He locked her in his house and comes around with food whenever he pleases. On March 29, 2024, he came to the house to pick her up, and he dropped her at Campus Area in Ile-Ife.
“Sofiyat later raised the alarm, which attracted Amotekun operatives in the area, and the suspect was trailed to his hideout in Sekona where he was arrested.”
The Osun Amotekun Corps Commander, Brig. Gen. Bashir Adewinmbi (retd.) also confirmed the incident while stating that the suspect has been transferred to the custody of the Department of State Services (DSS) for further interrogation and prosecution.
