A Nigerian-born native doctor has been jailed for 14 years in the United States of America
(USA) for collecting hundreds of
thousands of dollars from cocaine traffickers looking to get his supernatural
protection from authorities.
Christopher Omigie, a naturalized U.S. citizen, was said to
have portrayed himself as a witchdoctor.
He was sentenced Thursday in
a federal court in Beaumont, Texas after
pleading guilty last year to
conspiracy to distribute cocaine.
Omigie has been
living in Lafayette, Louisiana,
Prosecutors said the
58-year-old provided traffickers with card readings, massages with magic
ointments, razor blade cuttings and various magic powders, belts, coconuts and
rocks to keep law enforcement away.
They didn’t work.
His main clients were caught and pleaded guilty to schemes, involving cocaine
trafficking.
