Bullet Proof Charm Fails OPC Leader. Dies after being shot by friend

The late Anifowose.
It was a sad end for Yisa Anifowose, the leader of the Odua People’s Congress, OPC, at Shasha, Akowonjo, Lagos State, Southwest Nigeria, when his friend, John Taju, shot him dead while testing the efficacy of his newly acquired bullet-proof charm.
 
The charm could not prevent bullets from penetrating into his body as he reportedly boasted before he was shot. He slumped and died as a result of the injury he sustained during the shooting.
 
His corpse has been deposited at Igando General Hospital, for autopsy. The late Anifowose was married and had six children.

Anifowose, 54, popularly called Baba Kazeem, was shot in the chest by his friend and member of OPC, Taju, a one-eyed man. The suspect has been arrested.

The incident happened at the OPC tarmac, Zone 5, Orisumbare, Shasha, Lagos, the family home of the deceased.

On returning to Lagos, he was invited by his friends who are members of the OPC, to their base to celebrate his newly acquired power and the purchase of a new car by one of his members.
It was while they were celebrating that Baba Kazeem asked Taju who had a locally-made gun on him to shoot him to test the efficacy of the new charm.

Taju reportedly shot Baba Kazeem and the bullet tore his chest. He died on the spot.
His death threw the residents into confusion and his friends fled the scene.
Some residents of the area quickly locked up their houses and shops and relocated from the area to avoid being arrested by the police.

The matter was reported at the Idimu Police Station. But before the police arrived the scene, Taju had escaped.

Policemen at the station confirmed the story, adding that the suspect was later arrested, interrogated and transferred to the homicide section of the State Criminal Investigation Department, SCID, Panti, Yaba, Lagos.

“Investigation is ongoing in the matter,” a source at the station told P.M.NEWS.
When P.M.NEWS visited the residence of the late Baba Kazeem at 12, Ejigbo Road Orisumbare, Shasha, Lagos, his wife, Hafsat Anifowose and her relations gathered in front of the house to mourn the OPC leader.

She lamented the death of her husband and appealed to the police to investigate the incident and bring the culprit to justice. “I cannot just stay and watch my husband killed like a chicken. The government should intervene and arrest those involved in his death,” she cried.

A brother of the deceased, Adedeji Ajanaku, described the deceased as a courageous man. He called on the government to release his corpse to the family for burial in accordance with Islamic rites.
Following the death of the OPC leader in this circumstance, P.M.NEWS talked to some traditionalists on the efficacy of the so-called bullet-proof charm and whether such exist or it is just in the realm of the imagination of the believers.

Dr. Bunmi Omosehindemi, Chairman, Lagos State Traditional Medicine Board said he has been hearing of the existence of such a charm but quickly added that he has not seen it.

“Some people say it exists but I have not seen it. I am a scientist,” he said.

A traditionalist, Chief Samuel Oluwasola Dedeigbo, however, confirmed that a bullet-proof charm indeed exists, adding that it is not easy to come by.

“Bullet-proof charm exists but it is not easy to come by. On the OPC leader that was killed as a result of using the charm, the one they did for him was fake. He should have tested it first on an animal before asking someone to shoot him,” he stated.

Mmakamba said...

seriously speaking should the man who shot him be prosecuted?but it was supposed to be a test requested by the deceased.this is a rather delicate matter.

Don't know whether to laugh or mourn the dead. Lawyers in the house, will the "suspect" be charged for murder/manslaughter seeing that the deceased asked him to shoot?

People perish for lack of knowledge. The native / voodoo doctor should be arrested. This is the worst 419, ever. I guess the sale was not backed by "100% Satisfaction Guarantee or Your Money Back", even if it was, how's the buyer of the charm going to get their refund? The man who pulled the trigger should spend a long time in jail. Charm or no charm, he is at fault for carrying a gun and for pulling the trigger.

LMAO.....He should have tested it on a goat or something first.

Myne said...

These people can be so unthinking, why didn't he just shoot the leg or something?

The guy with the charm is dead, so obviously we may not know what actually transpired! Should he be prosecuted for killing his friend eventhough he asked him to "test the charm"; ofcourse YES!
There is a price for taking someone's life. Besides, ignorance is NOT an excuse to the LAW!
Next time, try shooting his leg or dont volunteer to shoot somebody even if he asked you.
Let the medicine man "test the charm" on himself first, before you put it on and start bragging about it!

This is just STUPID!!!

Buzzer! said...

Aneg, this one isnt a murder case. its suicide and if anyone should be prosecuted, it should be the deceased (if t hat can happen). He asked for it, he got it. He didnt even ask that he be shot in the big toe 1st to test, na chest!!!
ODE ESHI!!!

Tom Foolery to the highest order!!!!

Why he didn't ask his friend to shoot him on the leg or on his arm??? He died from his own stupidity!!! I don't know when africans will drop this ancient nonsense of charms and magic! The only charm that can protect us is GOD and intelligence!

This is a lesson for all to learn from.Power and wisdom comes from God.the devil does all the gimmick he can with the sole purpose of bringing souls to hell.people should embrace Jesus Christ and know true love,power and Joy.

Open and shut murder case. Mr Taju will be charged with and tried for murder. Even if he was asked by Anifowoshe to test a charm by shooting him, the law remains that murder is a crime regardless of whether it was committed with the consent of the deceased.

Bunch of Illiterates....Let them bring the 'original' ....and see which one of them will test it...
Fools....

The Lord said : 'my people perish because of lack of knowledge'.....

''Volenti non fit injuria'' cannot absolve one in a criminal case, inodawords, consent 2 commit a crime is not a defence in law, thus the person who shot the gun shud b fully prosecuted. Dis case is a clear example dat common sense is indeed nt common. ''I hv a new 'odighi eshi' charm, see 4 urself wit dat ur gun'' d friend points d tin directly @ his chest, big tym FOOLS!!!

truly this is sad. But if one wants to be callous i will say it is laughable!

Did'nt he learn from the great ABAMI EDA? He should have tested it on a goat like Abami did.Sad end!

sleekreek said...

Sincerely,,,i dont know if this is the right time for laughter,,but i cant stop laughing at this man's foolishness....LWKMD oooo....looks like all dis yoruba movie.....o ya Lere Paimo,Funke Akindele and others,,dis is a very good story line for u....

On a more serious note,,,,the man who shot him should not be prosecuted,,,he shot his friend on request and am too sure dis is not the first time they have been doing stunts like dis in their group,,,we all know OPC people to be fetish,,,and seriously,,i think the guy only renewed the efficacy of the charm cos if it was his first time of doing this type of charm,,he would have been wise enof to test it on an animal first and even his friend wouldnt have targeted his chest.....guess his Babalawo didnt renew the charm well.....on another thought,,,maybe he was mistakenly given EEDI charm instead of the AYETA charm(yorubas in d house should understand).....its possible..*still laughing*....we watch all dis things in movies now.....

I'm happy I am wise enof to choose JESUS....HIS POWER NEVER FAILS!!

you people use your brains. if he shoots his leg.. that doesnt test the charm. the whole point was to see if it could kill him. shooting his leg is not an appropriate test. ya digg?
