ALERT: Boko-Haram Invades Oyo State… To Seek Bullet Proof Jazz

AS the military assault against the Boko
Haram sect continues in some Northern
states, members of the sect might have
concluded plans to infiltrate the South-West
to seek traditional medicine protection from
gunshots.
Sunday Tribune gathered that the last few
weeks have seen large-scale efforts being
made by people believed to be members of
the sect to contact native doctors in Oke-
Ogun area of Oyo State, especially Saki, for
bulletproof charms.
Incidentally, Saki and some other Oke-Ogun
towns have a very strong Islamic orientation
with a large population of northerners,
especially cattlemen, already making the area
a home.
According to a source who claimed to be in
the know about the recent attempt to seek
Yoruba traditional protection by the Boko
Haram members, a huge amount of money
ranging from N5 million to N10 million was
said to be on offer "if the amulet is made and
tested okay."
"Recently, some strange people have been
coming to Oke-Ogun for traditional
bulletproof and most of these people are
Northerners, though their contact persons are
Yoruba. What we learnt was that anyone that
facilitates the Boko Haram's contacts' meeting
with a herbalist, who could make a potent
charm would also get a commission of 40 per
cent, with the remaining 60 per cent going to
the herbalist," the source said on condition of
anonymity.
