Thereafter, “he ordered me to pull off my cloth and naked, I did so, he gave me an egg to rub all over my body and broke it inside a bucket where he kept black and red thread, he ordered me to lay on the bed and have sexual intercourse with me, he said, I will still need a sum of #16,000 to complete the curse ritual, I told him I only had #3,000 in my account, I went to collect it  from a P.O.S. for him, he collected it and ordered me again to off my cloth and lay on the bed, I did so, but when he wanted to have sex with me again,I became conscious and refused, I left the place”.
