A middle-aged woman who
caused a stir at Cappa Bus Stop, Oshodi Lagos on Friday, after being accused of
witchcraft, has died.
According to Punch, the
woman, who was badly burnt, was accused of transforming from a bird into a
human being.
Some eyewitnesses claimed the
woman had fallen as a ‘bird’ from the cable, and confessed to have some
metaphysical powers.
Although policemen from the
Mushin Division, Olosan were later said to have taken the woman away, she was
already unconscious before arriving at the hospital.
The Lagos State Police Public
Relations Officer, DSP Kenneth Nwosu, while confirming her death, said the
woman’s corpse had been deposited at the Mainland General Hospital’s
morgue.
One Mr. Sowoloa, who claimed
to be an eyewitness, said the passersby formed a crowd around the bird which
reportedly turned into a woman, and busied themselves with taking her
photographs.
He said, “It was at 12 in the
afternoon. I was also at the bus stop with friends. We saw one of the birds hit
a high-tension cable. It shrieked and landed on the ground. Before we took any
notice, it was a badly burnt woman we saw.
“It is unbelievable but it is
true. When we spoke to the woman, she claimed to have some magical powers, and
had killed several people. She added that she was returning to her husband’s
house in Mushin before the incident. So, some people started taking her
photographs.”
