“Following the demand for their money, Auwal referred the complainants to one 65-year-old Ibrahim Adamu of Dukku LGA in Gombe State and since then Auwal had been on the run.

“During the investigation, one Ibrahim Adamu of Bagadaza Quarters, Gombe, was also arrested at Auwal’s house with some traditional charms, sands from the grave, one white cloth, and human bones which they use for their devilish work.”
