According to the correspondent, the lady told chiefs and elders that when she entered the house where the five ritualists were reciting some incantations she started crying.

Grace said when she returned to her madam to narrate the story, her madam confessed that the ritualists only needed her help with a family problem.

The young lady said her madam confessed that her family had been pursuing a gold bar for many years but without success. She said Grace was going to be used by the ritualists to help the family locate the missing gold bar.
