Two Friends Die Mysteriously In Hospital, One Screaming ‘Ah, See
Money! Plenty Money
Two young men identified as Ebafor, 25; and Alex, 36, on Tuesday
died in mysterious circumstances at the same hospital in Igarra,
Edo State.
According to PUNCH, an eyewitness who narrated the incident on
Tuesday said the deaths seemed like a case of money ritual gone
wrong.
The source said, “Ebafor [surname withheld] was with his aunty
on Monday night drinking around 9 pm when he suddenly started
shouting, ‘Ah! see money, plenty, money! Alex you are a bad friend,
a bad friend.’
“He started behaving hysterically, so, they were trying to calm
him down but he started vomiting blood and that is how he was
rushed to the hospital.
“They got to the hospital at about 10PM and as the doctor was
doing preliminary checks, he started shouting Alex’s name in the
hospital again; so, they wondered if it was the Alex he was
mentioning that poisoned him.
“On the other hand, Alex [surname withheld] was said to be in
the middle of his own incantations when he called his wife who
sells fruits by Afekhai Junction in Igarra and told her not to come
home after the day’s sale. But his wife did not understand what her
husband meant by that and went home after the sales only to meet
her husband stretching and talking incoherently”
The source continued, “She called neighbours who helped to rush
him, coincidentally, to the same hospital where Ebafor was. At the
hospital, the two men started behaving the same way and in less
than five minutes, they both died.
It was gathered that when his wife went home to fetch a cloth to
cover him that she saw fire and a coffin on the floor of their
room. Also, when Ebafor’s room was searched, there were several
charms scattered on the floor.
As of the time of filing this report, the police are said to
have evacuated the corpses but that the Igarra community insisted
that they remove the charms discovered in their houses.
