Witches And Wizard Declare War On Boko Haram

Worried by the socio-economic challenges facing the country, especially the nation’s state of insecurity, witches and wizards in the country recently held an emergency meeting at Afuze, Edo State

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.

While saying that the Boko Haram issue was one of the key issues discussed at their meeting, Iboi said it was witches and wizards from Borno, Adamawa and Yobe states that urged the association to convene the emergency meeting.

According to him: “Our bi-annual meeting was actually supposed to come up in first week of October, but our fellow brothers and sisters from these three North eastern states made passionate appeal to our general assembly imploring us to discuss Boko Haram matter.   Witches and wizards in Adamawa. Borno and Yobe states want us to intervene, to help cage Shekau and his blood-thirsty lieutenants”

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.

Iboi, who said Nigerians should not doubt the witches’ declaration or revelations on the state of affairs in Nigeria, said: “This is not the first time we will be coming out to speak about the nation. Five years ago, this was in 2010, when Nigerians were preparing for 2011 general elections, especially the presidential poll, we came out to warn General Ibrahim Babangida and former Vice President, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar not to contest against President Goodluck Jonathan, that Jonathan will floor them. What happened after these two eminent Nigerians disobeyed us, they lost in a disgraceful manner to Jonathan. Our warning to IBB and Atiku came out in one or two national dailies.”

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.

“That time we also said that some PDP top notchers that decamped to APC would come back to PDP, did this not also come to pass?  Witches don’t speak  from both sides of the mouth, and what is not revealed to us in our meetings, we will never say it was revealed to us.  We seldom speak out on national issues, we only speak when it is necessary to do so, and we do so out of patriotism”.

On other national issues which they discussed, Iboi said the newly installed Emir of Kano, Sanusi Lamido should not rejoice yet.

According to him: “What  we see before Sanusi is myriad of woes. His road will be rough.  Turbulent days lie ahead of him, he should not rejoice yet.  He will experience trouble within and outside the emirate.  His enemies are many, and to make matters worse for him, he had stepped on powerful toes.  He needs all the prayers in this world to survive the turmoil looming before him.”

On the nation’s political landscape, Iboi said Edo State governor, Adams Oshiomhole was standing on a shaky ground. “ It appear as if Oshiomhole is a master political strategist but the crisis currently happening in Edo State will snowball into a bigger crisis that may see Oshiomhole being swept away from office. You can call it a political tornado or Tsunami.  Comrade governor should be vigilant,” he said.

For APC national leader, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the witches said: “Tinubu will be betrayed. He will be sold out by those he trusted.  This betrayal will affect his political empire.  Tinubu’s political dynasty is under threat of crumbling.  Tinubu is a good man, but the bitter truth he must swallow today is that APC is going nowhere. Many top notchers of PDP that are in APC now will go back to PDP. Witches said so in November last year and it happened.  I’m telling the whole world again today that many former PDP leaders that are now in APC will betray Tinubu and other APC leaders, they will go back to PDP this year, and before 2015 general elections.”

On the anxiety over 2015, Iboi urged Nigerians to remain calm. “Nigerians should rejoice. This nation will not break up.  Witches and wizards carried out some intercessory spiritual work in Arusa, Tanzania, and New Delhi,  in India over this issue, and luckily our brethren, that is fellow witches there, joined hands with us, and it was resolved that Nigeria should not break up.  Forget about any American prediction, Nigeria will not break up. There may be pockets of crisis here and there, but they will be election related violence.”

On 2015 general elections, the witches said President Goodluck Jonathan will win. “Jonathan will win re-election.  Although there will be pockets of violence, Jonathan will win.  I will also have to appeal to Buhari and Tinubu, they should not waste their money, time and energy on the poll. They should go home and rest.  They should forget about becoming President or Vice President of Nigeria. APC will still lose more governors to PDP before this year runs out”.

Asked why other witches and wizards don’t come out or hold their meeting in the open, Iboi laughed, cleared his throat before blunting out. “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 Haraminsurgency 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.”
