A video making the rounds on social media captures the moment a man got killed while testing a bulletproof charm with his friends.
They had bragged about the potency of the fetish item and decided to test the efficacy using a local hunter’s rifle.
The guy who owned the charm had reportedly said that it was so powerful that if someone holds him while he is with the bullet proof juju and they are shot, both of them would walk away unscathed.
In the video shared by @Nwaadaz on Twitter, the young man who held the juju asked his friend to shoot him while he held another person. But it unfortunately ended in the killing of his friend, causing panic and frenzy.
Due to the graphic nature of the content, CorrectNG is unable to upload the footage.
