For eight months, Delta State-born billionaire and estate
developer, Chief Greg (surname withheld) abandoned
his wife, children and home in Abuja and travelled
across the world with his newly found mistress,
Augustina Chiegeonu. He thought he had found true love
but discovered after he had lost a huge chunk of his
wealth to a strange lover that he had indeed been under
a spell.









“I met her in one of my business trips in Lagos and months later
she was all that mattered to me. Could you believe that I left
home for the past eight months travelling from one country to
another with her? I spent millions of naira funding her various
boutiques in Lagos and Abuja. I bought houses for her in Abuja
and was ready to give her all, till this man who God will continue
to bless rescued me”, he told Saturday Sun after he recovered
his senses.
Chief Greg was let loose only after a quarrel burst the deal
between Augustina and her herbalist, Segun Adesoye who
prepared the love charm used on the billionaire
businessman.The middle aged herbalist based in Lagos
sensationally told how he was contracted by Augustina to
hypnotise the victim with love charm that will make Greg
divorce his wife and marry her. however, trouble started when
part of the deal which was for the man to get married to
Augustina dragged for months.
Sometime in November 2013, the lady who was infuriated having
expended more than N5.5million on the contract without any
positive result, alerted the police at Lagos State Criminal
Investigation Department, Panti. She alleged that the herbalist
defrauded her. As such, Adesoye was promptly arrested.
Unhappy that Augustina had to go to the point of getting him
arrested, the herbalist decided to let the cat out of the bag.
Having secured his bail from police detention, he sought to see
the victim who was still spell-bound under the voodoo.
According to Adesoye:
“She (Augustina) is one of my major customers who I normally
mix concoction to trap wealthy men. It may sound like a joke to
you but the truth is that my charm which I normally procure from
Osun State has its potency. She visited my house which I
normally use as a shrine with the picture of this man (showing
the photograph of Greg). She said that the man is very rich but
stingy to a fault. Initially I told her to bring N1.8million to enable
me start the process. We agreed that as soon as the man starts
yielding to her demands, she would pay the balance of N700,
000. “Few weeks later, she returned with my balance grateful
that my charm was doing wonders. Normally she is expected to
renew the charm every two months or it will lose its effect.”
The herbalist further revealed that when Augustina returned for
the renewal, she requested that she wanted the victim to marry
her.
“I made it clear to her that this is a more sophisticated charm
and will cost her more. The truth is that our charm is paid for
according to the worth of the man in question. Most of the times,
these wealthy men have their own juju which makes it much
more diffcult to penetrate. She agreed to pay any amount as she
has already made millions from the man. I asked her to bring
more of his personal effects, which includes hair from his
private part, his underwear, and sample of his sperm, his shoes
and the picture of his wife.
I also asked her to bring the sum of N8million for the charm. Part
of the money will be used to procure all the ingredients needed
for the sacrifice. I also gave her an assurance that I will return
part of the money if the man fails to marry her within three
months”, the herbalist narrated.
He claimed that he had to travel to Benin in Edo State in search
of a stronger charm when he discovered that the spirit of the
man was becoming difficult to crack.
“At Osun Mountain, I was warned that it will be difficult t break
his spirit to the point that he would ask her hand in marriage.
Because I knew I had a name to protect, I travelled as far as to
Benin in search of solution and I was told the same thing. The
only alternative is to keep him spell bound under the control of
the woman or kill him. “I knew that if, the man should die, my
contract with Augustina will end. I decided to ask for more
money with the excuse that the amount she brought was not
enough.
I knew she was making so much money from that man and
without my help, it wouldn’t have been possible”, he added.
On why he decided to let the cat out of the bag, the herbalist
said:
“She is an ingrate. For the fact that my charm was able to
hypnotise the man in the first place should be enough for her. I
was shocked that she used her friends who are policemen to
arrest me for fraud. It was then I decided to save this man from
her. Shortly after I secured my bail, I contacted him (Greg) on
phone. I had his numbers all the while because these are some
of the things that our customers have to submit about their
clients. “I contacted him and we agreed to meet at a police
station and that was how I assisted him in breaking the
covenant. It was then that he regained his senses and sought his
family.
I dare Augustina to come and challenge me again and I am
ready to expose all those that I helped her to hypnotise who are
still under her spell. She should be concerned with appeasing
the gods or she will become insane”, Adesoye boasted.
Happy to regain his senses but financially wrecked already,
Greg in an interview with Saturday Sun thanked his stars and
those who prayed for him that his lost soul be found.
“I am totally shocked and never believed that such a thing is
real. I met her on one of my business trips in Lagos and months
later she was all that mattered to me. Could you believe that I
left home for the past eight months travelling from one country
to another with her? I spent millions of naira funding her various
boutiques in Lagos and Abuja. I bought houses for her in Abuja
and was ready to give her all, till this man (the herbalist) who
God will continue to bless rescued me.”
According to him, he was initially angry when the herbalist who
called severally demanding to see him.
“I was so angry but when he told me that it was a matter of life
and death, I asked him to meet me at a police station. The truth
dawned on me when he brought out my favourite underwears
which I thought I had misplaced. My family pictures and so many
other things. It was then I realised the damage that I have done
to myself and my family. For the past eight months, I slept from
one five star hotel to another with this wicked woman. It was God
who said that my time to die has not come. Most especially, I
thank God for my wife who did not lose hope and prayed that I
will return one day. I am re-dedicating my life to God. ”
Excited that her husband returned in one piece, Saturday Sun
learnt that his wife who could not understand why her husband
suddenly decided not to pick her calls and whenever he
eventually picks them, will insist that he was busy doing
business in other countries and should not be disturbed.
Meanwhile Saturday Sun learnt that Augustina is currently on
the run after she heard that Greg had regained his senses.
A police source however said that Augustina cannot be held
accountable for love crime as the law does not admit such. The
source added that the herbalist may however still face charges
depending on legal advice.
While reacting to the legal implication of the incident, a lawyer
based in Ikorodu area of Lagos, Kazim Omo-tunde, said that in
law such an occurrence is known as Volenti non fit Injuri
meaning that someone who deliberately enters trouble can’t
complain.
“ I believe that the lady must have had sex with him severally in
exchange for that amount of wealth. It is rather unfortunate but it
remains true that there are people out there who will stop at
nothing to extort money from people. The man should accept his
fate and learn to bargain properly”, the legal practitioner stated.
