Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>A juju priestess on Tuesday night apprehended two suspected kidnappers in her shrine at Ewherhe-Agbarho community in Ughelli North Local Government Area of Delta State.<\/p>\n

The juju priestess reportedly inflicted machete cuts on the suspects and tied them up.<\/p>\n

It was also gathered that she called leaders of the community to come and evacuate the suspects from her shrine.<\/p>\n

It was learnt that the suspects who are from the northern part of Nigeria, burgled the shrine and attacked the daughter of the juju priestess.<\/p>\n

The daughter however raised alarm which attracted her mother, the juju priestess, who came to her rescue with a cutlass.<\/p>\n

The community leaders handed the suspects over to the Agbarho Police Division.<\/p>\n

Efforts to get the comments of the Delta State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Bright Edafe, were not successful as at the time of filing this report.<\/p>\n
