Pastor Reveals How Ritual Wealth Pursuit Ended in Leg Amputation
An Ogbomoso-based cleric, Pastor Joel Olasunkanmi, has recounted how his alleged involvement in ritual practices in pursuit of quick wealth reportedly ended in a life-changing car accident that led to the amputation of his leg.
Olasunkanmi disclosed this during an interview with BBC Yoruba, where he reflected on his past involvement in what he described as the pursuit of worldly possessions and material wealth.
According to the pastor, his involvement with a ritualist lasted about five years, during which he was allegedly given instructions to perform a ritual involving a woman he deeply loved.
Recounting the experience, Olasunkanmi said he believed his actions had angered God and eventually left him with permanent physical disability following a road accident on May 26, 2001.
“Thirty years ago, I took some steps that made God angry. It was while I was searching for vain and worldly things that I became disabled. I had a car accident on May 26, 2001,” he said.
He explained that the ritualist instructed him to find a young woman he loved, have sexual intercourse with her and use a white handkerchief to wipe her private parts before presenting it to him.
“The ritualist I sought told me to look for a young lady that I so much loved. I searched for her, had sex with her and used a white handkerchief to wipe her genitals. I took it to the man,” he recounted.
The cleric claimed that the ritual eventually brought him wealth, although he said he did not understand how the process worked.
However, he alleged that the ritualist imposed restrictions on how he could spend the money, particularly prohibiting him from purchasing a car or a house.
“I did become rich. I did not know how it happened. But I did become rich. But I was told I could not buy a car or house from it,” he said.
Olasunkanmi further recounted that the vehicle involved in the accident that led to the amputation of his leg was purchased with money he had provided to another person.
“At the end of the day, the car that hit me was indirectly mine because I was the one who bought it for him. At the end of the day, my leg was amputated,” he said.
Reflecting on his past, the pastor urged young Nigerians to shun the pursuit of quick wealth and embrace patience, hard work and responsible choices.
He advised youths against seeking material success through questionable means, stressing the importance of patience in achieving their ambitions.
“I implore the youths of today to be patient in everything they do,” he advised.
