Largely enticed at the prospects of getting rich overnight rather than the desire to help, those involved would be stripped to the last penny. They would be connected to a fake bank where they would soon begin to lose money through remittances in an attempt to have the said funds transferred. Unknown to the victim, it would be the same fraudster, Benson, and a friend, playing the role of bank manager and his associate.
In some instances, he played the role of a beautiful girl looking for a man to marry online. He had hundreds of nude pictures from pornographic sites. These pictures he used in fooling men. In no time, he would begin proposing to travel to the potential victim’s country. Here is when the scam would really get going, as he would be asking for money to help with air tickets and other itineraries.
In yet another strategy, he had sophisticated illegal software which he secretly installed on public computers in cyber cafes. Back home, he would be able to follow every transaction by every person using the bugged computer. Such information he would use to dupe people through impersonation.
He had many people on his hit list and, unlike many of his colleagues in the trade, he netted the biggest catches. He even internationalised his network, with people representing him in other countries, particularly Europe.

He had become a master par excellence in his trade, to the extent that he duped people from across the globe of huge sums of money, which he deposited in various bank accounts holding tens of thousands of US Dollars.
Unknown to Benson, it was the evil spirits connected to the family idols that had possessed him and aided his nefarious gimmicks.
No Free Lunch With The Devil Satan gives with one hand and snatches back with the other. It did not matter how much money he made, he squandered it on beer and women – patronising bars and strippers. He started throwing the money around, as if it were scrap paper.
As he caused others to suffer, the demon also caused him to suffer. At one point, he was arrested while collecting $5,000 USD at a money transfer agency. Sometimes, he spent months in prison and would lose all of his ill-gained money in trying to get out.
The risky and evil life he led, defrauding people, resulted in a life fueled by fear and playing hide and seek with the police wherever he went. He returned to Nigeria and strange things started to happen under the influence of the crafty Idigun.
If he bought a car, he would ride it for a few weeks and it would develop mechanical problems. The more money he made, the more the problems. When he tried to invest in land, he lost everything. He would spend huge sums of money to purchase land and, from nowhere, another person would come with documents, claiming ownership of the land. He started building a house but clashes over the property led him to abandon the project after investing a large amount.
He also had been at the receiving end of evil attacks, dreaming of the two family idols, Idigun and Olokun, fighting over him. Idigun would have two heads, a human and a dog’s, while Olokun appeared with human male and female heads.
