Pastor Joel Olasunkanmi Warns Against Ritual Wealth Pursuit

Joel Olasunkanmi, a pastor based in Oyo State, shared his harrowing experience involving ritual practices in pursuit of wealth during an interview with BBC Yoruba. His involvement with a ritualist lasted about five years, during which he was instructed to perform a ritual involving a young woman he loved.

Olasunkanmi stated that his quest for material gains led to a car accident on May 26, 2001, which resulted in the amputation of his leg. He explained that although he became wealthy through the rituals, he did not understand how the wealth came to him and was restricted from purchasing a car or house with it.

He revealed that the car involved in the accident was indirectly his, as he had financed its purchase for someone else. Reflecting on his past, Olasunkanmi urged the youth of Nigeria to be patient in their pursuits and to avoid seeking instant wealth.
