Witches & wizards issue warning to Boko Haram leader

Witches and wizards in Nigeria have recently held an emergency meeting at Afuze, Edo State because they are worried about the socio-economic challenges facing the country.

Making this revelation in an exclusive interview with Saturday Sun in Lagos on Wednesday, leader and spokesman, Witches and Wizards Association of Nigeria, (WITZAN), Dr. Okhue Iboi said the emergency meeting held by his members was not only aimed at discussing the various challenges confronting the nation but also to chart a way forward.

"Witches and Wizards in Nigeria are deeply worried by what is going on in the country especially Boko Haram insurgency.  As stakeholders in the Nigerian project, we can no longer afford to fold our hands while the nation burns. Enough is enough", he declared.

Speaking on the outcome of their deliberations, the 55-year-old wizard said the days of Abubakar Shekau, Boko Haram leader were numbered.

According to him, Shekau will be captured before the end of December, and paraded on the streets of Abuja and Maiduguri for the whole world to see.

"We witches and wizards in Nigeria have sealed the fate of Shekau. His days are numbered.  He will be captured before the end of December, and contrary to the image and impression he has been  creating that he is a warrior, after his capture, he will start singing like a canary bird."

Not done yet, Iboi, further said that Shekau, upon his arrest, will mention some powerful people who are his sponsors.

"An ordinary eye can't see what we are seeing in the coven world. Witches and wizards have put Shekau on our radar. There is no peace for him again until the day of his arrest," he said.

Urging Nigerians to remain steadfast and not to panic, the witches spokesman added that the parents of the missing Chibok girls will soon have cause to smile.

"Those girls are coming back home. They will be rescued, but it is sad that I have to say here that not all of them are coming back. They are not being held in the same place, some are in Niger, and some are in Cameroon while others are in Chad and Nigeria," he added.

Continuing, he said: "In November last year, during one of our meetings, it was revealed to us that former CBN governor Lamido Sanusi would be unceremoniously removed from office, many people then labelled us fakes but what happened thereafter? Sanusi was ignominiously removed from office without completing his tenure."

Asked why other witches and wizards don't come out or hold their meeting in the open, Iboi reportedly laughed and said, "You speak like a small pikin. Witches are like spirits. We are invisible.
 
"It is only those that operate in the spiritual realm that can see us either when we are meeting or going for assignment.

"I was born a witch. I inherited witchcraft from my mother when I was in her womb, from the age of 7 I started seeing unborn babies in their mothers' womb, and I could predict with precision of sex of an unborn child whether it is a boy or girl.

"When I was born, I was born with a leaf in my hand, and starting from the age of 5, I started healing people like a grown-up herbalist."

On the issues of witches being blood-thirsty, and suckling blood, Iboi said: "Those are bad witches, in our own association; we are white witches, and white wizards.

"We are here to save people. We don't  kill, we counter bad witches and neutralize them whenever they are on their evil mission."

While saying that another meeting of witches and wizards is slated for Damaturu the capital of Yobe State in October, Iboi said the meeting will review the outcome of the one held at Afuze, so as to enable witches to know what action and steps to be taken next.

"To add to that, we are also converging on Damaturu as a sign of solidarity with our members, and also people and government of Yobe  State that  we are with them in the hour of crisis.

"The Boko Haram insurgency has become an open sore, and we are also joining efforts with government and other stakeholders to contain Shekau and his fellow blood-thirsty followers."
