Nemesis caught up with her when she could not deliver the spiritual powers to the victim and he demanded the return of his money. She then planned to kill him by hiring a specialized hired killer one Babangida Dalha, ‘m’, aged 30yrs of Jibia whom she contracted with the sum of fifty thousand naira (N50,000:00K) for the job. In the course of investigation, suspects were arrested and confessed to have administered poison with intent to kill the victim which failed.
