A security guard at Bovas Filling Station in Oremeji, Ibadan, has been caught stealing company funds. The astonishing revelation came after the manager took an unconventional approach to uncover the culprit.
Frustrated by the theft and unsuccessful police investigations, the manager dragged all staff members to an herbalist shrine to uncover the truth. The unorthodox method yielded surprising results, as the security guard – entrusted with safeguarding life and property – was exposed as the perpetrator.
A viral video shows the staff and manager at the shrine, with the herbalist conducting a ritual to reveal the thief. The dramatic climax saw the security guard confessing to the crime.
