When she requested for the refund of her money, Kalu refused and the police had to be contacted to wade into the matter.

According to Gloria, she was introduced to Kalu whose shrine is located at Abule Ado area of Lagos.

During the encounter, Kalu asked her to request what she wanted to achieve in life and she told him that she needed spiritual empowerment to become a popular movie star.

Kalu promised to fulfill her dream and told her that she would pay the amount and thereafter she would embark on spiritual exercise to equip her.

He allegedly told her the rituals involved him stripping and bathing her with some spiritual materials which she agreed after paying the money.
