P.M. Express that the incident happened at Gudugba Street in Iju Ishaga area of Lagos.
It was revealed that the two spiritualists, Sulaimon Abiodun and Shola Ojo collected the money, prayed and later informed Akande that he will not be able to spend the money because of the multitude of bad spirits on the money.
