NIGERIA – A disturbing incident involving a family betrayal has sparked outrage as a man in his 60s has been accused of causing the deaths of his own brother and sister-in-law within a span of three days.
According to reports, the suspect used juju to unalive the couple in separate incidents before swiftly moving into their home.
Following their deaths, he forced the deceased’s children out of the house, leaving them stranded and vulnerable.
Eyewitness accounts indicate that the man made no effort to organise burial arrangements for the deceased.

Instead, he is said to have taken control of the household and consumed alcoholic beverages found in the home.
The situation took a dramatic turn when concerned individuals in the community intervened after the displaced children cried out for help. The children were subsequently rescued and offered assistance.
Further claims suggest that a charm allegedly buried within the compound by the suspect was discovered and removed during the intervention, raising suspicions among residents about possible spiritual motives behind the incident.
The suspect reportedly justified his actions by claiming he was the next of kin to his late brother and therefore had the right to take over the property and evict the children.
