Fake Herbalist Disappears After Collecting Over Le200,000 from Mogegba Residents

The Mogegba community has been left in shock after a man who claimed to be a herbalist collected over Le200,000 from residents and disappeared.

The man told people he had the power to “double” their money. In hopes of gaining more, community members handed over large amounts of cash.

After receiving the money, the herbalist vanished. He has not been seen since. Many of the people who gave him money are now left with nothing. Some of them used their savings, while others gave money they had planned to use for small businesses or family needs.

The promise of quick money attracted people across the community. Instead of receiving double, they ended up doubling the herbalist’s own money. The entire amount collected, over Le200,000, is now gone.

This case has become one of the latest in a growing number of scam incidents happening in different parts of Sierra Leone. People continue to fall for tricks involving fake spiritual powers, money-doubling claims, and other false promises. In most cases, victims are just looking for a way to survive in difficult economic times.

Local reports say that after the incident, members of the Mogegba community tried to trace the man, but there has been no success so far. The money is still missing, and the people who gave it are left frustrated and disappointed.

Community members are now urging others to be careful and avoid handing over money to anyone making such claims. They say the money lost could have been used to start small businesses, pay for school, or support families.

The matter has drawn attention as people continue to speak about the need to stop scam activities that take advantage of vulnerable communities.

The situation in Mogegba is still developing. No one has been arrested, and investigations are expected to continue.
