HOW I DISSABLE WITCHES. Last week we gave you the introductory part of the life of Esogban of Benin Kingdom in Edo State, Chief David Edebiri, who oversees the operations of witches and wizards, among other traditional functions, and how he has shockingly revealed the method witches, who kill people and stall development in the ancient empire are disabled. This is the concluding part. Deactivation of witches He said: “What I am doing as the Esogban is a social service to the community. It was enacted by our great, great grandfathers. When you hear of witch-hunt in England, France, if anybody is suspected to be a witch, the person will be burnt alive and destroyed, similar things were happening here, but the elders now said no, instead of killing these people or sending them to the evil forest, why not look for a way to reform them and bring them back to the society.” Higherpower “I think that was why this structure was put up. It was a legislative action for social development of the people. When these people come here, because of predominant superior power, they confess that they are witches or wizards and confess all the destructions that they have been involved in,” Edebiri asserted. His words, “Then we look for a way to discipline them. You cannot remove them from being a witch or wizard, but after coming here they can be disabled from committing havoc or using the power for any dangerous thing.” “So when these people were brought like that and they were disabled, they will be taken back to the society and no one will call them wizards again. First, their coven will not admit them anymore, secondly that power has been completely taken away from them,” he added. How I acquired my power Asked where he acquired the authority he uses to tame suspected witches and wizards, Chief Edebiri, “Ah, it is the power of God Almighty and that of the Oba of Benin (laughter). We have averted much havoc that these people would have caused in Benin Kingdom.” Typical witches’ attack “I remember in the year 2,000 my encounter with a woman, who was a wife to my school mate. They call came here (his palace, where witches stand trial as the case may be), this woman was a leader of a church in Benin, she was married to one Ighodaro, she took a helper to the coven and told the girl to go and get money from Ighodaro. She took that money to the coven. “Ighodaro started falling, he sold all the vehicles he had, the man did not know what was happening and this same girl was still in the house with them. The children will bring money from abroad to assist; he will not know how the money vanished. Until the situation was exposed and this girl started confessing that she was responsible for all the misfortune of her master. They were brought here,” he said. Orthodox trial “When they came here, the girl confessed that mama is the head of the witches in that area, she said mama is an expert in drawing people’s money to her own. “When the woman wanted to deny, the girl said daddy please ask mama where does she trade in Benin, which market, that she has six buildings in Benin City here where she collects rents, what sort of business does she do to get those property. The man kept quiet,” Edebiri disclosed. He continued: “Then I asked the woman that this girl said you are a witch, is she denying. Again, I asked the girl if she reported the matter to their church leader, she said even their pastor in the church is a member. And mama finances the operation of the church and the pastor was a member, but he was later transferred.” what more can I say? So much science in the midst of lack and yet nothing to show for it.
