In a shocking turn of events, a native doctor in Abuja landed in the hospital after attempting to test the efficacy of a self-made “bulletproof” charm. The man reportedly shot himself in the stomach during the test, leading to severe injuries.
Eyewitnesses recounted that the native doctor had assured onlookers of the charm’s potency and proceeded to demonstrate its power. Unfortunately, the charm failed to protect him, leaving him writhing in pain and bleeding from the stomach. He was quickly rushed to a nearby medical facility for urgent treatment.
Local authorities are yet to confirm whether the incident will lead to an investigation, as similar cases of failed “bulletproof” charms have been reported in parts of Nigeria. Such incidents highlight the risks associated with unverified traditional practices.
This occurrence has sparked conversations on social media, with many users criticizing the continued belief in charms for protection against firearms. Others have called for stricter regulations on activities that could endanger lives.
