Christopher Omigie, fifty-eight-year-old Nigerian man, a self-acclaimed witch doctor, has been sentenced to 14 years in a US federal prison for providing drug traffickers with magical and “supernatural” protection.
At a court hearing on April 30, prosecutors told Judge Marcia Crone, that Omigie presented himself to drug traffickers as a witch doctor who had the powers to prevent them from being arrested while they smuggled banned drugs and was paid “hundreds of thousands of dollars” to give supernatural protection from law enforcement.
