Man Narrates How He Escaped From Suspected Ritualists In Lagos by Ricky18(m): 8:56pm On May 31, 2015
38 year old Dennis Joseph has narrated how
he was divinely saved divinely from
suspected ritual attackers in Lagos recently.
His story which he shared with National
Mirror below:-


“My name is Denis Joseph. I am 38 years
old. I am from Imo state, Owerri North Local
Government Area. I was born in Port
Harcourt.
I graduated from Enugu State University of
Science and Technology, Enugu. Presently I
am into the distribution of Nestle products in
Lagos and other states of the Federation.
Recently a customer called me from Ikorodu
that he needed some products urgently and
that I should come and see him for proper
negotiation before the second day.
At about 2pm the following day, I boarded a
Siena minivan from Ojota .We were about
five in the vehicle including the driver of the
vehicle I asked them how much was the
fares and they told me it was #200.
I said it was okay since the vehicle would be
faster, I said no problem. I was in a hurry to
catch up with my appointment.
As we were going ,my spirit was very cold. I
now flashed back to what happened at
Ojota, shortly before we took off.
I discovered then that some people in an
attempt to enter the vehicle held back. they
did not enter the car.
It was unusual for my spirit to be so cold
like that if there was no eventuality or
imminent danger.
As we moved further since my spirit was not
willing and becoming uncomfortable in the
car, I told the driver,’ Oga , please stop me
here, I told them felt like continuing with the
journey, let me pay you your correct fare.
The driver responded that he could not stop
at the place they were because it was
dangerous since it was an expressway more
so because of the law enforcement agents.
I said please stop me let me get down here,
the journey meant nothing to me again but
he refused. He accelerated the speed.
I told him it is not dangerous for him to stop
and that I could see vehicles stopping and
people moving about freely and that there
was no danger in it. Before I knew what was
happening, he increased the speed.
In the process it became dawned on me that
the occupants were not normal people. So I
started struggling with them to go out.
They started saying their incantation. Their
invocation was so much that I knew it was
only God that could save me at that point
even though I believed that as a Christian, I
would not die in the hands of those people.
My escape was not possible because I was
sandwiched by two men on my sides, with
another at the back.
I started shouting in the vehicle; leave me I
want to go out. But my shout was inaudible
since the windows were closed.
Because of the way we sat there was no way
I could jump out easily.
Then I hit on the car, I hit on the other side,
all my hands got bruises in an attempt to
escape danger and death.
Blood started coming out of my hands. I
found out that they don’t want to stop as I
was shouting and screaming.
One of them said to me that why are you
proving too stubborn, don’t you see other
passengers in calm position.
I did not even mind him. All these things
happened shortly after Owode, Mile 12 area
of the state.
As I was doing that, one of them told the
driver that we better hurry up o, this guy is
proving too stubborn.
They said this guy is not the type of person
we need o, we better hurry up.
It was when they started saying this that I
discovered that they were not ordinary
people and out to harm me.
Fortunately for me and bad for them and
through divine intervention and on coming
trailer from the other side had blocked the
road and the car could not penetrate the
small opening.
The car could not bypass the big trailer so it
had to stop. I continued shouting. That was
how they stopped abruptly and I came out of
the car.
Then some Policemen and people came
round to inquire about what was happening.
I narrated everything to them and they
arrested the remaining occupants.
They started asking them why are you doing
this? The Police searched the vehicle and
found dangerous weapons, charms, knives
and all those fetish things.
Me I started thanking God for delivering me
and rescuing me from their hands left the
place. I did not follow those apprehended to
the Police.
For the fact that I came out of the vehicle
safely was okay for me. God just saved me
miraculously from those people. So I thank
Him.
Because if not God I don’t know if I could
have survived it. Those people are ritualists
because they did not even asked me for
money. They were only after my life.
My advice to people going on a journey is
for them to pray before they go out. So as to
prevent unexpected mishaps.
They also have to be careful and look well
before boarding any vehicle.
The Police too need to be in strategic places
so that they would know who is who during
the day, afternoon and at night.
Even when people are shouting or struggling
inside the car or bus, they will be able to
respond easily and follow up the vehicle.
That was what helped me and people started
to come round to help me.”he said.
