Woman transformed into a Cat in Akure , Ondo state (Charged to court)

Woman transformed into Cat in Akure , Ondo state (Charged to court)

I was in a car on my way to my Office when I heard about this strange occurrence in Akure the Ondo state Capital it was being talked about over the Radio.The incidence was alleged to have happened on the 8^th of September 2011, at 3 A.M to be precise. As usual I do not take stories like this seriously so I just mentally waived it aside. After all I was in this “Naija” when the police arrested a goat for armed robbery. i met people who were eager to start a discussion on the witchcraft topic but I was always quick to change the topic to areas with more impact on the retina of my mind like Boko Haram, Bombings,possible revolution in Nigeria and even UEFA Champions league football fixtures.

On the 13^th of September (today) I was in Magistrate court one , Akure magisterial district ,Oke Eda Akure Ondo state for a matter (by virtue of my profession) we waited for the Magistrate to emerge from his chambers till 10 :30 AM . and when he emerged . Alas !! the first charge to be read was that of the Woman who was alleged to have transformed into a cat !! first thing that came to my mind was. Is read about witchcraft cases in the dallies but never had a first hand experience where I will be watching all the “principal actors” I have decided to share this interesting tale with my readers. Most importantly as a first hand witness!! the usual question i always ask is how possible it is for this to happen and i sometimes wonder if media houses like P.M news make up all stories like this, but now i am seeing it First hand right before my eyes and in a better position to analyse if a human can actually transform into a cat!!

Here is a copy of the Charge !!

Signed Police officer (A.S.P)

The accused was brought before the court, docked and the charge read to her, after which she pleaded not guilty having elected to be tried by the court. The prosecution had all their witnesses present., the first prosecution witness was one Mrs Agnes Onigbara , she said at about 3.A.M in the night her husband woke her up that the

y should go into prayers and that while they were at it, they heard foot steps on the roof and after a few minutes there was a crashing noise , they observed that something has crashed into their bedroom through the roofing sheet and asbestos into their bedroom, She narrated further that she shouted “Blood of Jesus” !! and since it was dark they used her husbands phone as a touch light to enable them take a better look at the object which they discovered to be a human being, a woman with just a piece of wrapper barely covering her nakedness. She said the woman appealed to them not to beat her, but to open the door and allow her go out of the premises.

The couple refused and then decided to take her to their Landlord who is a prophet; one Ilesanmi Adebayo .she said the Prophet then used a Broom to make her confess. She confessed that she is a witch and was on her way back from the coven and was in form of a white cat when she crashed through their ceiling and that she has the power to travel from Ondo state to Kaduna in 10 minutes in form of a cat. Among other things. A mob had already gathered ready to stone her to death but she was locked up in a safe place till the Nigerian Police came to effect her arrest.

now i am just wondering how on earth did she get up there? was she insane like i suspect the defense lawyer might try to prove later? is she really a psychiatric patient? but then how easy is it for a woman to have climbed unto the roof of the house without the aid of a ladder ??

The husband of the lady that gave the second testimony as a prosecution witness two said an when she fell through the roof , she fell as an object that was beaming and shinning like lightning before she became a human being, but the wife and everybody agreed they never really saw the cat!they never saw her turn either from a cat to human or from a human to a cat. All that they relied on was her confession even so why was there a need to use a phone torch light to see a shinning object in the dark ? but still how easy is it for a woman to have climbed unto the roof of the house without being aided? then for the weight of the woman to have caused her to crash through the roof, it means she was human before she crashed through, or was it that she transform back to human before crashing through? but what was she doing at the wrong place at the wrong time? at least it is incontrovertible that she actually crashed in!

Many questions begging to be answered.

In the confessional statement of the "cat woman " she said her mother initiated her into witchcraft at Fadaka at Araromi Akure a five years ago by giving her roasted rabbit at about noon and she found herself at the coven on the night of that day, and has been a witch ever since, she said she killed her own brother because he refused to give her five hundred Naira in January 2011. she also added that she attended witchcraft meeting with Bukola,Shade,Yemi and Segun who also turn to Cats of Different colours while she turns to a white cat.

the question here is what will the court decide in this case regarding the witchcraft charges? was this kind of scenario envisaged by the criminal code (Law)? certain things has been proved/ alleged.

1. she actually crashed through the roof of the house at 3 A.M in the night ,raising the question how did she get up there?

2 she did confess she was in a cat form before crashing through the roof? raising many questions as well !!

3. she broke the roofing sheet and asbestos of the apartment in the process, evidenced by the pictures tendered as exhibit in court. meanwhile she was granted bail to the tune of one fifty thousand naira with two sureties in like sum and condition that one of the sureties must be her husband and the other a close relation. the case was adjourned till 23rd September 2011 for the Defense to open his case.

The pertinent question now is how do humans really turn to cats , is this for real?? comments please !!
