A Nigerian-born native doctor has been jailed for 14 years
in the United States of America (USA) for collecting hundreds of
thousands of dollars from cocaine traffickers looking to get his
supernatural protection from authorities.
Christopher Omigie, a naturalized U.S. citizen, was said to have portrayed himself as a witchdoctor.
He was sentenced Thursday in a federal court in Beaumont, Texas
after pleading guilty last year to conspiracy to distribute cocaine.
Omigie has been living in Lafayette, Louisiana,
Prosecutors said the 58-year-old provided traffickers with card
readings, massages with magic ointments, razor blade cuttings and
various magic powders, belts, coconuts and rocks to keep law enforcement
away.
They didn’t work.
His main clients were caught and pleaded guilty to schemes, involving cocaine trafficking.
