For the medicine to be more effective, they told her that one of the students had to be killed, something the woman refused to accept.

One source from the school claimed that the “experts” arrived at the school and arranged traditional procedures, whereby they told her that for the medicine to work effectively, one student must be killed superstitiously. However, the woman refused and instead she asked them to find an alternative and that was when the money issue came about and she gave out between Sh10 million and Sh50 million, in accordance with traditional treatment demands. “She was just like having been hypnotised because she gave out whatever amount she was told and the last time she gave out Sh50 million and that was when the con men vanished,” one of the school teachers said. However, as days passed by, the number of students did not increase and two weeks ago she lodged a case at Moshi Central Police Station, where an investigation sheet was also opened.
