“The suspects, who include Jamilu Mohd 18, Shehu Bashar 18 and Bashir Samaila 22, all confessed to the crime,” he said.
According to the commandant, two other suspects, who were charged with criminal conspiracy and cheating were also arrested.

“Exhibit recovered from Mukhtar include assorted spiritual perfumes, two white plane cloths, four papers in the form of booklets, with ambiguous Arabic symbols used for voodoo,” he added.
