FULL STORY:

Nigerian healer died after attempting to demonstrate the efficacy of his bulletproof charms to a client.

Chinaka Adoezuwe, 26, died when he told one his clients to shoot him in an attempt to test his charms.

“A young man had gone to [the healer] to prepare bulletproof charms for him, which the native doctor did. To prove the efficacy of the new charms, [he] positioned and handed over a gun to his customer. Tragedy struck,” the BBC reported, citing the Nigeria-based Punch Newspaper.

Police in Nigeria’s Imo state have arrested the client, according to the BBC, which reported that “charms are popular in Nigeria, where traditional healers are consulted for cures for various ailments.”
Even local police seemed to trust bulletproof charms more than the armor itself. Early this year, another article from Punch reported that several policemen admitted to having more confidence in being protected "the traditional way," meaning that some officers were wearing a charm under their bulletproof vest.

“Even my wife knows about the charm and we are both Christians. She does not complain because at the end of the day, she does not want me to lose my life facing armed robbers. There is nothing wrong with double protection,” one officer told the publication.

This is not the first incident of supposedly bulletproof products failing to function as planned in Nigeria. According to the BBC, authorities arrested a traditional medicine seller in January after his “bullet-repelling” liquid failed to work, and a man was fatally shot while thinking bullets would not harm him.
In 2003, a Nigerian healer in the Benue state was killed after instructing a client to verify that a traditional charm would protect against bullets. The client fatally shot the healer in the head.
"There have been several reports of people being killed after testing ‘bulletproof’ charms and medicines" promoted by healers, according to the BBC.

Similar incidents have previously occurred in other African countries after local healers or doctors profess they can perform supernatural feats.

In 2001, the BBC reported that a Ghanaian man died after testing whether he was invincible to bullets. A local witch doctor had given the man a mixture of herbs and said that rubbing the blend on his body would make him bulletproof. After the incident, angry locals attacked the witchdoctor, also known as the jujuman, but "a village elder" saved him.

Last March, a man in the Philippines was cut with a machete following a controversial claim from a local cult called "Iron King" that such practice granted followers "bulletproof powers," the Daily Mail reported. Some members of the group, which has nearly 100 devotees, described the ritual as "painful and terrifying."

It's clear that juju is impotent but many Africans fail to see that. If the colonials were able to colonize our powerful juju forefathers for years, juju is not adopted in our military force how is someone so dumb to test juju using gun.

I know a civil defence guy that used to boast that bullet can not penetrate his skin because of juju. He's still actively in service and goes about exposing himself foolishly because of that false and ridiculous belief. Our childish superstitious beliefs is what is stopping us from developing. We give too much relevance to empty superstitious nonsense!

I just hope he doesn't boast in front of his enemies, na sorry be hin case. This same juju thing was portray in "Beast of no nation" where Idris Elba features, many of his men were killed despite the juju they use. That part portray how dumb Africa is.

To any nigerian, that claim he's seen or know someone who won't get harmed by machete or bullets, just ask them to wager on it.

Bring him out in public so that everyone can be a witness with some medical professionals nearby, and shoot or hack him in the least lethal place. If he doen't wound after repeated attempts his claims are true. And this discovery would revolutionize modern science. If he wounds however, which is bound to happen under controlled settings then he pays you your money.

It's a win win.
