A 27-year-old man, suspected of being a car snatcher, made a very shocking admission to the police in Kaduna.

Babangida Ibrahim, who was dismissed from the army for using a fake certificate, is said to have stated that his mother encouraged him to go into car snatching.

He also added that it was she who prepared the charms for him and gave her blessing for him to “succeed” in his chosen venture.

Leadership reports:

Ibrahim who was paraded by the state Police Commissioner, Umar Shehu, alongside other suspects, said he had successfully snatched over 60 exotic cars which he normally sells at very cheap rates before his arrest.

“I was dismissed from the Nigeria Army because of the fake secondary school certificate I used and it was then that my mother said she was going to prepare a charm for me to use and become successful in whatever I want to do.

“I normally put the charm in a drink and once anyone drinks it, they fall asleep and I take the car away. Other times, I put it on my cloth and once I enter your car and you perceive it, you will fall asleep and I will take the vehicle from you,” he confessed, adding that he had been living very comfortable through the act of car snatching.
