“She is not with any church, she is now living with one native doctor somewhere in this community, if you came a bit early, you would have met her, she left just about 10 minutes before you came in. But we do not blame her because no one with a sane mind will stay in that kind of place if that juju is not neutralized,” “We have also seen somebody she brought to come and do some things here, and we know that they are not church people, that person is not pastor, she lives in one of the thatch houses in the compound of the native doctor somewhere in the community.”
I’ve asked her to return to her home- Rev Linus
When Niger Delta Voice contacted that Assemblies of God Pastor, Rev Saviour Linus, who lives in one her property, he said the lady gave them the house to live for free and that, indeed, he got a revelation when the incident happened and that Mbiam (charm) invoked in her house was powerless.
“I had called her to tell her about my revelations but because of fear, which is an instrument and a means the devil uses to torment his victims, she left her house, there is no way we can be in this vicinity and that God will allow the devil to take preeminence here, it is just impossible.” “But you must first believe that He is, so she should come back to her home, the charm is powerless, light can never overcome darkness , I have seen worse things where people send ‘Igo’ and ‘Eguebe’ deities, so the occurrence it is not new.”
No going back on banishment-
Acting village head Acting village head, who is also the youth leader of Ekpene Ikot Effio Enang, Mr. Edem Edet, said it would be foolish on the part of the community to allow the estranged husband to remain in the community or build houses on the land given to him by the people because they have seen what he is capable of doing.
“We have seen the kind of an he is, we now know that he is not supposed to live among us because he has questionable character, this kind of man can poison people where they gather to relax or drink, he is even capable of killing to possess what belongs to another man. For this reason and other things that I would not like to go into, he can no longer live with us. “We do not sell land to people in this community, we give it our for free, but there are things you must buy so that the community people will share, which is part of our tradition. We gave him a parcel of land measuring 100×100 in size in 2015 and we know he has plans to erect a structure there, but that can no longer happen because we are returning all the items he bought back to him so that we can live in peace. “All the items should be around N140,000 or thereabout and our tradition is to return those things back to him before asking him to leave us and that decision will be taken in our next meeting because we cannot take over the land without refunding those things,” He told NDV that he has always been skeptical about the man and they never wanted to give him land, but because of the constant pleas by their daughter, Mrs. Asuquo, that was why he was even considered and as it stood, their fears have been confirmed beyond reasonable doubt.

Estranged husband begs Edet revealed:
“He came to me few days ago to tell me what he wants, but from the way he spoke, I think he still loves Esther, but it is too late because he took it too far, even the militants went to the place and they are very angry with what he did because the case was still before them, yet he went behind to contract a native doctor.” Efforts to speak with Mrs Asuquo proved abortive, as several calls to her cell phone were not answered.
