Curled from Daily Sun newspaper reports
A 25-year-old prayer warrior with a pentecostal church went berserk yesterday and bathed a 15-year-old girl with Holy Ghost hot water in the commercial city of Onitsha. The girl was attacked with hot water when she was doing some laundering alongside other children in the compound where the suspect resided. According to the victim’s aunt, Mrs. Josephine Anyaegbu, said Onuegbu just came on holidays and was attacked by the prayer warrior who lived with her younger sister in the security house in the compound.
Anyaegbu said: “Nobody knows her name. She came and lived with her younger sister called Charity in the security gate at the entrance of the compound. Everyday she will lock herself inside the house and be shouting ‘Holy Ghost fire.’ One day I went to find out if she was okay, she came out and was speaking a strange language.
“Then yesterday, my children and my niece were outside washing clothes because we are living in the flat on the ground floor. Suddenly she tip-toed and splashed hot water on the children but Chimmeri was bending down, backing her.
“That was perhaps her saving grace because she was spattered the hot water from behind, burning her back and her neck.”
Mrs. Anyegbu further disclosed that after the first attack, the suspect went in to boil water.
She then came out of the house with a knife, chasing everybody in the compound before passersby were alerted and the youths wrestled with and disarmed her. “When she was not satisfied with the first attack, she went inside and put another kettle and started boiling hot water. She came out with knife and started pursuing me around the compound and my son that went to confront her was hit with a heavy stone in the back and he fell down before people came to our rescue,”
She is presently in police custody but, when she was asked why she committed the crime, she said “I am a powerful woman. I command men and women and my name is Christ and Glory.”
