Miss Kate was helping her mother to sell dried fish in their new market shed. One morning she was walking leisurely to the market shed to attend to customers. On the way a tricycle -"Keke Napep"- stopped to pick her but she refused to respond but walked ahead. One of the passengers in the tricycle went after Miss Kate pretending to seek help. Without suspecting any harm, Miss Kate stopped to show concern. Unfortunately for her, a spirit of hypnosis from the visitor seized her, numbing her thinking faculty. She became senseless, responding to every instruction from the visitor. This innocent girl was carried in the tricycle and thoroughly interviewed.
In the hypnotized condition she told the wicked people every secret about herself and her home. She was sent home to bring every Naira and Kobo in the house to the hoodlums. The helpless girl was commanded to go and buy recharge card on credit for the rogues; she did so to the tune of nearly N100,000. Before she recovered her senses a huge sum of money has been lost to people she did not know. It was an experience that was difficult to forget.
