This is apparently not the best of times for the Obibhunu family of Egbele Uromi in Esan North/East local government area of Edo state as a dreaded Occultic group, Ogboni Asigidi, has been for the past five years threatening members of the family.
Ibilola Obibhunu, a mother of two is, as a result of the alleged threat, presently bedridden with machete injuries in an attack in August 2024 and has also been under serious depression. The alleged threat is so much that she is now receiving treatment at an undisclosed hospital in Lagos.
Also, Benedict Obibhunu, the husband and eldest son of the family has also fled the country for some time now after consistent physical attack and alleged threat of African mesmerism from the cult that is firmly rooted in every part of the country.
According to one of the elders of the family, who is also an uncle to Benedict, Mr Odion Obibhunu, Ogboni Asigidi, the dreaded occultic group, has been mounting pressure on the family to produce Benedict to succeed his late father who, in his life time, was a prominent member of the cult which allows the first son to succeed him. Their refusal to concede to this demand has however led to series of attacks against the family.
Benedict , the first son of the family had to flee the country after series of attempts on his life. The heat is now turned on his wife who is currently suffering from injuries inflicted on her by the occult group and presently recuperating at a Lagos hospital.
Odion Obibhunu is therefore appealing to relevant security agencies on behalf of the Obibhunu family for adequate protection and immediate clamp down on Ogboni Asigidi and many other occultic group terrorising innocent families in Nigeria. According to him, “my family and I are devout Christians of the Redeemed Christian Church of God; we cannot serve God and mammon”.
He is also urging prominent churches and other religious organizations to fervently pray against cultisim and occultic practices in Nigeria saying, the nation is gradually being taken over by evil and forces of darkness.
