Some minutes past 12:00am, he came to the bed telling me that the music I was playing was disturbing him, because he hasn’t slept for about 2days. Suddenly he started making incarnations, I initially thought it was funny not until he started asking me why I haven’t slept off yet, I told him I would sleep when the time comes.

Although secretly, I was praying. At 2:00am he started beating me up and when I was shouting, he told me that no one can hear my voice. I struggled with him for so long, destroying the property in my room. At 2:30am, my lodge mates started coming for my rescue and by God’s grace, I could open the door for them.

He also told me that his plan was that in the morning, he would collect money and when he use it”.Information gathered was that the young man is also a cultist but was using people for rituals for the sole purpose of his yahoo plus activity. “
