How night guard who stole N0.426m at filling station was exposed by Osanyin god

It was vintage African magic Friday as a night guard at Bovas Filling Station at Babanla, Oremeji Idi-Osan, Ibadan, Oyo state capital, was exposed for theft of N426, 000 (four hundred and twenty six thousand naira).

According to a viral video on X-handle of Oyo Affairs, monitored by ogbomosoinsightonline.com, the loss of the money, was discovered early Friday, by a supervisor who kept the money, an aggregate of the day’s sale in a safe in an office.

He immediately alerted the manager, (whose name is also not given), of the loss. Over N1.4m was said to have been kept in the safe from which the stolen amount was removed.

When no one owned up to the theft all the staff members were taken to a police station. After statements were extracted and they were quizzed, and the criminal undiscovered, they, including the night guard, were subsequently dragged to a juju priest who consults the Osanyin god at an undisclosed location in Ibadan.

Osanyin is Yoruba’s deity of herbal medicine, renowned for healing and for magical and technological prowess. It is an orisha that speaks audibly, which is relayed by its priest.

After the juju man got a grasp of what happened he lined the suspects before the Orisha (Osanyin), with each coming before it for an “invisible examination.” The eight staffers who first showed up before the Osanyin were declared innocent by the deity. Then, a young man identified later as the night guard was brought up, performed the rites as others but alas the Osanyin pronounced him the culprit.

The Osanyin while cross-examining the previous persons including three females stated unequivocally, “he/she is not the culprit,” and so were asked to go. But when the guard presented himself the deity stated unambiguously, “Ogundabeje, he is the guilty one.”

The Osanyin priest confronted him to own up or face calamity. Crestfallen, the man admitted to committing the crime. Ordered to explain how it was executed, he said, “the door was not locked.” So, he went in, he informed, and face – to – face with cash, he lost his conscience and sanity, and so helped himself to some dough.
