Accra: Ghanaian gospel minister Wonderboy has recounted a chilling experience from his past, revealing that he travelled to Benin with friends, where they slept in a coffin in a desperate bid to obtain quick wealth and success.
According to Ghana Web, in an interview with KayB Media aired on June 6, 2026, Wonderboy said although he used to sing, he ditched music and began following friends who were involved in internet fraud. Back in the day, when many people did not own personal computers or laptops, they would visit internet caf©s to engage in romance scams. Most often, he said, after clients send money for the first time, they subsequently stop responding to messages.
At that point, one of their friends suggested that they spiritually "tie" a victim, leading them to seek the services of a fetish priest. Speaking about how he ended up sleeping in a coffin in Benin, Wonderboy noted that one of his friends suddenly became wealthy and acquired a car and a house. Curious about how the friend had gotten such wealth, the gospel minister said he and two other friends approached him to find out the secret behind his riches. They then discovered that he had acquired the wealth after travelling to Benin.
In the quest to become wealthy, the gospel minister said he and two other friends travelled to Benin to meet the fetish priest. According to him, the mallam informed them that since the three of them had come for money rituals, one of them would die a week after sleeping in a coffin. Despite the warning, they agreed to proceed with the ritual.
Wonderboy further shared that after sleeping in the coffin, all three of them returned to Ghana. However, they lived in fear because the mallam had told them that one of them would die within a week. Exactly a week after their return from the Benin trip, one of the two friends who had gone on the journey with him passed away. Wonderboy revealed they believed the deceased friend had become the sacrifice required for them to become wealthy.
The ritual appeared to work, as they were given something resembling a sack to place under their bed. Once the ritual was completed and the sack was removed, it contained money, and they began acquiring properties. They also covered all the funeral expenses of their friend who had passed away.
