The arrest is part of ongoing efforts to combat harmful, deceptive practices that undermine societal values and exploit vulnerable individuals. The accused, identified as Fawzia Ahmed Taleb, reportedly lured victims by falsely claiming that she could solve personal and family problems, break curses, bring good luck, and fulfill their wishes in exchange for money.
