How 2 Sisters Narrowly Escaped Death After Being Branded Witches By A Prophet by bumi10(m): 12:39pm On May 15, 2017
The act of many Nigerians, especially women, giving credence and heeding to Prophets of Pastors advise and caring it out to the last letter is a call for concern. Many ladies in this country have met their death and have been chased out of their husband's house all because of heeding to their pastor's advice.

Popular CoolFm OAP, Daddy Freeze has always frowned at this kind of mentality and have created a name for it "sheeple" and yet people are adamant. It is better for a woman to fall down or go on her knees to great her pastor than to respect her own husband. The truth is, 99% of these so called pastors are fake.

Aniema Ekpenyong and Mary Ekpenyong, two sisters, who were branded witches by a prophet in the Divine Zion of God Church in Ikot-Abasi-Effiom District, in the Akpabuyo Local Government Area of Cross River State and have narrated how they narrowly escaped being lynched by the villagers.

According to Punch report, the incident happened after their uncle, identified simply as Victor, took them to the church for deliverance.

Thirteen-year-old Aniema, and Mary, 10, who had since relocated to Asanting village in the Ikono LGA of Akwa Ibom State, said they were taken to their new abode after the sad encounter with the uncle. In an interview with Southern City News on Saturday, Aniema said the issue that led to their being branded witches emanated as a dream from their stepsister.

She said,

“Everything started when Adiaha Akpan (stepsister) said she had a dream that Aniema and I came to take her child away and that we wanted to kill her. She told Uncle Victor about the dream. “Uncle Victor took us to church, where he asked us to confess that we were witches or else when we get back to the house, he would beat us and use nails to pierce our bodies, but I told him that I was not a witch.

“Uncle Victor took us to the church and when the prophet said we were witches, he and some people took us to the bush and started flogging us.” Aniema, however, said she tried to run away but was apprehended by the uncle, adding that they used all kinds of cruel methods to get them to confess in affirmation, but to no avail.

“When they went away, I managed to untie myself and ran away. A broken bottle pierced my feet, but I kept on running. Our uncle caught up with me and continued with the flogging, using big sticks while I cried. “They took me from one house to the other and some people joined them to flog me. They burned a nylon bag and let the flames fall on our skin to make us confess.”
