A man who claimed to be selling charms that protect people from gunshots was killed by his customer who wanted to buy one. Chinaka Adoezuwe, 26, of Nigeria called himself a traditional healer and offered customers charms that do not allow bullets to penetrate them.

Chukwudi Ijezie went to Adoezuwe in the state of Imo State to buy a charm.

When Ijezie asked for proof that the charm works, the seller offered to shoot him in order to prove the powers of the charm.

However, Ijezie turned down the offer. Instead, he asked the seller to prove it on himself. The traditional healer agreed and handed the gun to Ijezie.

The customer fired one shot while Adoezuwe was wearing the charm. It did not work and the seller died on the spot.

Ijezie was arrested and may face charges of murder.
