A buoyant network of 'feymen', comprising top politicians, traditional healers and business magnates has been resurrected in Kumba, Meme, Southwest Region, The Post has learnt.
The group of money-doublers is said to have rebuilt their famous temple where clients are usually fooled and sometimes threatened with misfortunes such as death, madness, bareness, impotence and, in some cases, the loss of manhood, womb or womanhood, depending on the sex of a customer.
The Post gathered that barely few weeks after the setting up of the temple, after close to a decade of inactivity, the money-doublers missed a big one on a farmer who could not produce FCFA 10 million.
The farmer is said to have been driven away from the hideout of their head office, for failing to immediately produce the money they requested. The unsuspecting victim is said to have brought along FCFA 1 million which angered the gang.
It is believed that the money-doublers are getting back to their old business as a result of the failure of their other businesses or failure to gain political power and the recent surge in the price of a kilogram of cocoa.
Most of the well known dealers who used to ride in posh cars around town, demonstrating unjustified financial largesse are now trekking or either spotted jumbling from one bike to another or squeezing in taxis to go about their activities.
Others, The Post gathered, are going through confused times matrimonially, given that their wives are either pressing for a divorce or cursing them for being unable to provide for their families.
They are alleged to have bounced back with stronger charms from faraway India, given that they themselves are aware of the challenge of making a big catch as obtained in their hey days.
Stories abound in K-town of families, businessmen, civil servants and others that have been crippled by these “feymen”. Some of their victims are still serving long prison terms due to the colossal amount of money that exchanged hands under diabolical and some times funny circumstances.
For now, there are those who have kept cursing such one-time dealers and today politicians, business magnates and contractors, as reaping the fruits of their unholy acts.
