“Witch doctors” are exploiting sick and vulnerable Brits claiming they can cure illnesses such as cancer for tens of thousands of pounds.
The “healers” promise to banish disease, fix fertility problems and overcome mental health issues – for a large sum.
These “healers” advertising online after one leafleted homes claiming to be able to solve any health problem in 48 hours.
One “healer”, Fatt-ha Grami from Streatham Hill, South London, professed in his Gumtree advert he was “born gifted” and could solve problems “impossible to be solved” including illness and disease.
DailyMail UK reporter visited him posing as a woman with a cancerous brain tumour. He told us it had grown as a result of black magic.
Inside his flat – kitted out with a flatscreen TV and several laptops – Grami asked our investigator for her name, mother’s name and date of birth before muttering an incantation while carrying out a ritual with a string of tribal beads.
Half an hour later, as incense filled the room and cable TV played in the background, Grami – wearing a floor-length hooded cloak – revealed his diagnosis.
“There is a way to help you make the cancer disappear. But there is no way for the tumour. Maybe you need an operation for that.”
Putting on pressure, he continued: “You cannot escape from it now. After the cure, we need to do a protection with you.”
Grami then explained the cancer was caused by eating sauce from tinned baked beans and could be cured by a combination of spiritual protection, African medicine – and lots of cash.
