Family Appeals For Divine Intervention After Two Of Their Daughters Are Possessed By ‘Demons’.
Two of Mzee Samson Mburu’s daughters have been suffering from
what is believed to be a witchcraft spell since the month of April this year,
something that has led to so many sleepless nights for the family.
At the time our team arrived at the homestead, we
encountered a number of their neighbours and well-wishers in a communal prayer
session asking God for divine intervention. Even before the session was over,
we witnessed firsthand, the kind of suffering these two souls go through every day.
They developed some hysterical and peculiar uncontrolled
body movements and jerking motions that caused them to lose themselves into a
world only known to themselves. They jumped, threw themselves to the ground and
even puffed like a snake. All through this ordeal, their eyes seemed so static
as though they were in a world of their own. It is only through the assistance
of those who were in the house that they never hurt themselves, though this was
just a hell of an experience.
This berserk behaviour, that took more than 15 minutes,
looked to us, very reflex and not stage-managed.
According to Grace Wanjiru, one of the two victims of this
attacks, she has been suffering from frequent unexplained ailments for the last
four months now. It all started by a simple nose bleeding and slight headaches
but even after the doctors examined her, they detected no cause of this
problem.
Wanjiru, a widow and a mother of five, says that she has
been experiencing severe stomachaches that at times felt as though there was
some objects moving from within.
“Whenever I collapse, my limbs tremble so much and get that
feeling as though my head has been detached from the rest of the body. I also
get some funny feelings of some ‘spirits’ invading my systems. They take me to
some cemetery but whenever I pray they bring me back to my real self even
though this is usually after a severe battle with them,” says Wanjiku.
She claims that after these attacks, she has never been able
to fed for her kids and has to depend on her aging parents who are jobless. Her
husband died some years back and left the responsibility of taking care of the
children upon her shoulder, a duty she is no longer capable of due to her
ailment.
Her children attend to school just by the grace of
neighbours and her teachers who sympathise with their plight.
Her youngest sister (13) suffer the same ailment and at the
time of this interview, was not even able to talk after just come back from the
attack.
Malka Syombua Mburu, the mother to the two, suspects foul play
in all this as she retracts its origin to their former place of residence in
Kagaa Settlement Scheme in Kenol Sub-County, Muranga. She says that she had had
so many complications even when giving birth to most of her children.
“I have been falling sick so often especially when we
resided in Kagaa, Kenol. When it became unbearable,
I prayed to God to get us
away from that place. That is why you see us living in this incomplete house
for I could not wait to stay there any further,” said Syombua.
She claims that in the previous home, she would get the
vision of a very big snake that would come and stay vigil in our homestead. She
would always get visions of unexplained dangers that were about to hit the
family.
After leaving that area to settle in Kabati, her children
started developing some epileptic kind of ailments which, even after visiting
various hospitals and administering several x-rays, the doctors never
diagonised their real problems.
It has now been four long painful months of suffering. They have
not been able to move away from the homestead, a fact that has led to them
being totally dependent of neighbours.
They are now appealing to well-wishers to come to the aid of
their grandchildren who are now living without the care of their mother. They
are also appealing to those people who possess the gift of spiritual healing to
come and pray for divine intervention as so many false prophets have been
visiting the home with no tangible results other that demanding money from this
poor family.
