CALABAR— FOLLOWING the crossfire over the killing of a suspected 19-year-old python in the residence of the Senior Pastor of Mega Faith Christian Assembly, Calabar, Rev Tony Amba, reported in a past edition of Niger Delta Voice, head of the Hausa snake killers that got rid of the threatening python, Danzaria Rabiu, has disclosed how they killed the snake.

Rabiu, who spoke through an interpreter, during the week, told Niger Delta Voice that he and his colleagues were not snake charmers or hunters as described and did not use diabolical means to kill the snake.

He said they hail from a family in Zaria with innate abilities to handle snakes without harm. Rabiu stated that though he spoke about remains of lizards and dogs found in the ceiling, it was unconnected to the pastor’s apartment as the reference was to another incident. He said that his statement that the snake would have lived in the ceiling for about 10 years followed his knowledge of snakes and certain characteristics he observed.

“I dey praise Allah for the Pastor because e be like say the snake get mission for that place, but God dey with pastor well well, because me wey kill the snake believe say e get as e be. But I still thank Allah because na God know everything about the snake,” Rabiu said.

Another member of the group, Ibrahim Yusuf told Niger Delta Voice that the killing of the snake did not involve the use of any charm. But he would not blame people, who believe that they used charm due to the poisonous nature of snakes.

Pointing at his brother, Yusuf, who stood beside him, he said: “Even this my little brother as small as he is, if he crosses a snake or touches one, nothing will happen to him. It is just our culture and tradition; it is a gift from God not any charm at all.

“All my family members and some families from my place are gifted with this ability. Although I left my place after I finished secondary school, but I am still gifted with the ability. “We do not use charms and we did not use any charm to kill the snake at the pastor’s house.

It’s our way of life

“My brother’s explanation was not well understood. From the time we suck our mother’s breast, they give us “dowri” and it is not a charm it is just our culture,” Yusuf added.

Also speaking with Niger Delta Voice, a snake keeper, Mallam Idris Lawal stated: “Since I was born, I grew up to see my father keeping snakes without anything attached to it, you know we also have people like us in Cross River, especially in northern part of the state. but I will not blame anyone who believes that we use charm or diabolical means to keep them.”

“If the snake is too violent, I just remove the teeth. I have been beaten many times but they cannot harm me because it is my culture and not charms at all. I do not know about other people, but most people from my axis like Yusuf and Rabiu do not use any black magic at all.”

Rev Amba, who spoke to Niger Delta Voice on the incident, said: “Everything that happened that day was nothing less than a miracle. Only God knows how long it has lived there. “But for me, my family and the ministry which he has given to me to oversee, it is a September to remember.”

It is funny how people want to become heroes for doing the simplest of things. Killing a python is one of those. It takes common sense, that's all! Trap it with food: rabbit, goat, whatever; depending on the size of the snake itself. After it has constricted and swallowed its victim, it becomes easy prey as the food weighs him down while the food digests. That is when you strike. Remember, although it's size can be scary, a python has no venom (poison). It attacks, constricts, suffocates and crushes the bones of its victim, then gradually swallows it whole. It is not rocket science, nor is anyone born a specialist in the art or science of "python killing".

Jeremiah 5,21-22 no matter where you are located: born again Christian sisters and brothers&secular are in great evil bondage to the evil marine spirits&occult world and pastors and prophets that are with them are afraid to help them because they have NO MANTLE POWER and LIGHT,which is as JESUSCHRIST said I AM THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD that is the LIGHT reffered to here to totally liberate them?they pastors and prophets dont have that LIGHT and because those evil hidden nations and powers are more powerful than them and there are little they could do or say if not they (those evil hidden nations will query them in the night or they will be frustrated and dealt with and what they are doing as preachers will stop,remember we told you that it is in the night that we know who is who,no matter how human beigns pretend in the day and let us inform you that they the pastors and prophets always defend themselves in the night by renouncing some of the things they said publicly in the day or so called miracles they performed by the recipient beign giving a breathing space and that's why if you closely the so called miracles are not permanent ?it is highly unfortunate that there is NO REAL JESUSCHRIST POWER&LIGHT to liberate their followers even when the bible made it clear that once a problem has been revealed by the light that the problem has been conquered by the light and now ask yourself even when they prophesy why do the problem continue even when it manages to be solved it is never permanent and that is why the sacrifices keep moving,they will see the problem but no GOOD AND PERMANENT solution?behold BORN AGAINS live in fear of witches,evil marine attack and evil dreams and family wickedness?so therefore be it known to you that you must first be totally liberated from your problems before you can have PEACE which Jesus CHRIST promised and giveth but Evil marine,occult world rules and many who are claiming to know Jesus CHRIST or dont know Jesus CHRIST or secular have their roots and power From there and pretend before human beigns who are spiritually ignorant and blind?behold we have the power to proove this truth beyond reasonable doubt and non on the earth can challenge this our heavenly authority :THE LIGHT IS WITH US and that the kingdom of God of justice has come and Gods judgement through Jesus CHRIST has come back upon the earth and whosoever have ear let him hear and we have spoken for humans to hear but this must be spiritual and there is where everything happens and unfolds and that area is not for everyone to know remember the spirits are wiser that humans and there those who have spiritual eyes who reads and sees as we reveal the hidden truths here:mathew13,13-14: romans 11,21-22
