“It was my people that reported me to the police because I use the skull and bone to perform magic.
“Anytime I touch somebody, his manhood will disappear once I have the items on me,” he said.
The suspect said that the police “succeeded in arresting me because the charm travelled when they raided my house”.
He demanded that he should be released and allowed to go home in peace, insisting that his arrest by the police was unlawful.
He said there is no law that allows the police to arrest native doctors.
