A young woman's desperation for fame has landed her in a mess as she tried achieving greatness through the backdoor. The woman named Gloria Sule had a flair for acting and she wanted to hit stardom desperately and quickly.

Reports reveal that all the charms prepared for her by this spiritualist failed. The spiritualist also stripped and bathed her unclad under the guise of performing spiritual rites. Gloria later requested for a refund of her money when there was no result which Francis failed to produce. This led to the introduction of the police into the matter.
According Gloria, she was introduced to Kalu whose shrine is located at Abule Ado area of Lagos.During the encounter, Kalu asked her to request what she wanted to achieve in life and she told him that she needed spiritual empowerment to become a popular movie star.
Kalu promised to fulfill her dream and told her that she would pay the amount and thereafter she would embark on spiritual exercise to equip her. He told her the rituals involved him stripping and bathing her with some spiritual materials which she agreed after paying the money.
To convince her, Kalu gave her a time frame when she would accomplish her desire. Gloria waited in vain as all the promises failed and the police had to be invited to arrest Kalu. After investigation, he was charged to Ejigbo Magistrate’s court.
