Seer tricks, beds seven women in Katsina By Bashir Bello KATSINA—Nemesis seems to have caught up with a 40-year-old soothsayer, Sani Idris, who lured and lied to seven women that their husbands were wizards and had sex with them in Maska village, Funtua Local Government Area of Katsina State.

The complainant reportedly told the Police on June 11 that his wife, Maimunatu, informed him that Idris, who claims to be a soothsayer, called her mobile phone, asking her to come down to his house, located also at Maska Village.
