Someone shared this scary and interesting story of something he
witnessed in Enugu and backed it up with photos. Things are really
happening.
As was narrated by one of the occupants who was weeping, she said the
pregnant woman who had entered the bus before the the one-eyed beggar
had answered a call on her phone and a few bus-stops later, the one eyed
beggar who was obviously identified as a beggar because of his music
instrument entered the bus. When the pregnant woman wanted to then get
down at her destination, she couldn’t speak again, she tried motioning
to the driver but the one eyed-beggar who sat beside her told the
conductor that they haven’t gotten to their destination and that the
pregnant woman was his wife and that she was dumb. This caused confusion
in the bus as some occupants of the bus had earlier seen her answer a
call and also knew she didn’t enter the bus together with the beggar.
The driver then stopped the bus and as the occupants got down and
narrated what happened in the bus to the crowd that had obviously
gathered cause of the alarm they raised, the beggar still insisted the
pregnant woman was dumb and was his wife.
As people were suggesting to take them to the police station, the man in
yellow who you’ll see in one of the attached pictures rushed the beggar
and began punching him and flogging him with his belt telling him to
confess and say the truth. Before i knew what was happeneing, more peole
including angry drivers, conductors, students and passer-bys who were
obviously pissed by the grid-lock the commotion has generated on the
road because of the crowd joined to beat the beggar. After about 5mins
of beating, one of the men beating the beggar brought car oil and poured
on the beggar and threatened that if he didn’t confess that he’l be set
ablaze. That was when the man confessed that he touched the woman with
his ring.
They asked if he could un-do it and he said yes. He removed the ring
from his finger and touched the pregnant woman’s fore-head and she
regained her speech. I was shocked and dumb-founded. I had never seen
such or believed such things existed. After seeing the pregnant woman
regain her speech, the crowd then began the real jungle justice on the
beggar, they beat and kicked him the more and called him a “heartless
ritualist who wanted to use a pregnant woman and her unborn child for
blood money”. Mean-while the pregnant woman who had regained her speech
wasn’t acting normal. She had lost total memory and the only name she
could remember was that of her sister which someone among the crowd
collected the pregnant’s woman’s phone and retrieved the sister’s number
from her contact list and called her sister to inform her.
The police luckily arrived before the man could be set ablaze and
everyone took to their heels. The few brave ones stayed behind to find
out what the out-come would be and on interrogation by the police, the
beggar confessed that the woman was his wife and accomplice and that he
was supposed to touch her with the ring and make her dumb so she could
join him in his beginning business. He said he touched her with it and
she went dumb but that it also affected her memory and she couldn’t
realise where she was or what was happening which made her motion around
like someone in distress inside the bus. While he was being questioned
by the police by the side of the road, the pregnant woman sat by his
side and didn’t utter a word. Some said she lost her speech again. Some
said she regained her memory and realized her game was up and quietly
shut-up. The police later took both of them away with the beggar holding
the ring in his hand. The pictures and videos of the beating, the
pregnant woman and the one-eyed beggar are attached in the attachment.
