Sacred Iroko Tree On A Killing Spree After It Was Cut Down By Pastor In Benin by Samsimple(m): 1:26pm On Mar 25, 2018 |
In what might appear to many people as another Nollywood movie, residents of Benin are living in fear as some have reportedly died because of a sacred Iroko tree cut by a pastor. This is not the best time for the people of Iguoma in Uhunmwonde Local Government Area of Edo State following mystery deaths which have led hundreds of natives to flee their ancestral homes. Meanwhile there is a controversy on what actually is the cause of the deaths. For instance, the two warring groups in the community don’t agree on this. The tragedy, which befell the community, became public after some leaders of Iguoma, led by Pastor Joseph Ighodaro, who also is the Secretary of the community, stormed the palace of the Oba of Benin, Oba Ewuare II, last Monday, begging the Oba to revoke an alleged curse placed on the community by his father, Oba Erediauwa. They claimed that a native doctor revealed to them that their problems were caused by Oba Erediauwa’s curse and not the cutting down of sacred trees. But the other faction in the community, led by the Chief Priest of Okhuaihe N’ Uleku shrine, Mr Uyimwen Odeh, dismissed the curse claim, saying the problems in the community came because some sacred trees were cut down after 14 days prayer session by Ighodaro and another pastor that came from Delta State. Pa Jolly Agbontean, who spoke on behalf of the Odeh group, said all the shrines in the community were sacred as they belonged to the Benin monarch but that the Ighodaro group destroyed the shrines, adding that, as a result, the shrines were now killing the persons behind the destruction and not the entire community.

If this story has any iota of truth in it, then it isn't strange as many have believed worst things in the past and died of their beliefs. See below for the history of the 'untouchable grapes' of the 'gods. Doctufos: Homo sapiens III 24:4-34 1 Like |
