An herbalist from Kuchibuyi Village, Abuja, is currently receiving treatment in the hospital after a dangerous self-experiment went wrong. Ismail Usman, who allegedly attempted to test the effectiveness of a homemade “bulletproof” charm, sustained serious injuries when the charm failed to protect him during the experiment.

According to the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command, Usman was rushed to Kubwa General Hospital for immediate medical attention after sustaining life-threatening injuries. He was later transferred to Gwagwalada Specialist Hospital for further treatment.
