Killers Of Python In Calabar: Handling Snake Is Our Culture; no charms or juju by Fynestboi: 6:46pm On Sep 29, 2015 |
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.” http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/09/killers-of-python-in-calabar-pastors-abode-handling-snake-is-our-culture-no-charms-or-juju/ 2 Likes 1 Share
