4.5M for restoration of glory prayer, the accuser never said the truth, human blood/parts may be involve in this their prayer.
The problem here is police will take their share from the 4.5m (if true) and set the criminal free, and if the accuser persist, they will turn this case against him because this is Nigeria.

I don’t think anybody is responsible for the accuser’s lost glory. We are so gullible in Nigeria that we believe in whatever these scammers pretending to be a Native Doctor, Pastors or Alfa tell us. IF you can raise a #4.5 million naira in Nigeria of today, trust me you are really doing well. All other prayers can be made by yourself if you think something is wrong somewhere. We are so lazy in prayer, that is why most Nigerian are falling victim of scammers. If anybody tells you that you need to go and bring I million naira to restore your lost glory or to help you fight your enemy, that is a scam. A genuine prayer does not require such large amount of money.

Just look at the shape of his head! That alone should have been the red flag that he is a scammer. If you have 4.5M to fing your lost glory, then the glory was never lost, you were just being stupid.
