Man Sells His Wife To Juju Men For N800K

Maimako Shephang is said to have deceived his wife, Agnes into going to fetch firewood but when they arrived at a wooded area, he allegedly handed her over to two men in masks.

“I asked the man how much he sold his wife for and he said eight hundred thousand naira (N800, 000) and was paid the sum of four hundred thousand naira (N400, 000) so far.
The man who is currently awaiting trial however blamed the devil for his action and asked me to pray for him.”
The spokesperson for the Plateau state police force, Abuh Emmanuel told AFP:
“The man lured his wife to a bush under the pretext of fetching firewood and sold her to two ritualists for 800,000 naira.
“When the ritualists discovered that the woman was the man’s wife, they asked her to go because she could not be used for the sacrifice,”
