Taking to the TikTok comment section users shared:

One user added: “This is actually a good idea.”

Another user commented, “Whoever thinks they have the guts to rob a traditional healer hasn’t watched the show, ‘Ndigoduse’, where the person dealt with them magically.”

Another user shared a similar experience of being robbed where his friend pretended to go into a spiritual trance and the robbers waited until they were done to steal their phones.

While some TikTok users added that it was a great idea many shared that most robbers don’t care if you are a traditional healer or not and can sometimes also steal your attire to sell for their personal use.
