Ismail Usman, a self-proclaimed herbalist, sustained life-threatening injuries while testing a self-made “bulletproof” charm. The incident, which occurred in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), left him critically wounded after his experiment with the charm went awry.
According to reports, Usman allegedly fired a gun at himself to prove the efficacy of the charm. Unfortunately, the charm failed to protect him, and he suffered severe injuries.
The FCT Police Command swiftly responded to the scene and transported him to the hospital, where doctors are currently battling to save his life.
The police have placed Usman under watch
