Recently, a bricklayer in Osun state named Rasheed Sulaiman was shot dead while testing the potency of a bullet-proof charm.

According to a witness, Rasheed called his cousin to follow him to a secluded place to test the talisman. Then after he wore it, he gave a gun to his cousin to fire at him. The cousin fired a shot and killed him instantly.

YNaija spoke with two native doctors to find out what they think about talismans and their potency based on their experience in the practice.

One of them named Yemi says in vernacular, “Talismans work, but some people don’t use it in the prescribed way. It’s like using a medicine without following the instructions.

“When we make a talisman for a patron, we tell them how to use it. But when the patron doesn’t follow, they don’t get the desired result.”

“There is usually one or more conditions for using the charm. If you don’t observe the precaution, it would lose its potency. For example, they may be told not to drink alcohol or eat a certain food. But some people fail to observe the condition. They may have forgotten, because somehow the forbidden thing or act will continue to fall in their way. So when they break the condition, they become vulnerable. That was how one ‘strong’ man in this community was tricked and killed. The plotters learned the condition that kept his talisman effective, and they tricked him to break it unknowingly. Then they killed him.”

“Also, the charm may be fake or may not be well done by the native doctor.”

“Even if they are effective at first, charms don’t work forever. You have to continue to renew it or it will become ineffective in time.”
