Nigerian Witch Doctor Tries To Prove Charms Are "Bulletproof" And Dies
https://dailycaller.com/2018/07/05/nigerian-witch-doctor-bulletproof-charm/
A self-proclaimed traditional healer in Nigeria died after telling a client to test the efficacy of his bulletproof charms by shooting at him.
Chinaka Adoezuwe told his client, Chukwudi Ijezie, to shoot him while he wore the charms around his neck, evidently expecting that he would come away unharmed, according to BBC. Police have since arrested the client for murder, as Adoezuwe did not survive his ad-hoc product's quality control test.
The incident is only the latest death in a series of "bulletproof charm" test related deaths that have recently occurred in Nigeria. Another man died in January when a native healer shot him after he drank a "bulletproofing" potion.

Ghanaian killed in magic bulletproof test

A Ghanaian man has reportedly been shot dead while testing whether a magic spell has made him bulletproof.
A Ghanaian news agency reported that the man, Aleobiga Aberima, from the village of Lambu in northeastern Ghana, had asked a jujuman -- a local witchdoctor -- to make him invincible to bullets.
After smearing his body with a concoction of herbs every day for two weeks, a fellow villager volunteered to shoot him to check whether the spell had actually worked.
He died instantly from a single bullet.
The news agency said angry villagers then attacked the witchdoctor, and beat him severely until he was rescued by a villager elder.
