Bird ‘turns to woman’after electrocution

There was panic yesterday in Port Harcourt, Rivers State capital, as a bird purportedly turned into a woman.

The incident, which occurred about 8a.m. at Agip/Ada-George junction, attracted a crowd.

The Nation learnt the bird purportedly turned into a woman after it was electrocuted by a high tension wire.

An eyewitness, Promise Amadi, who confirmed the incident, claimed the bird perched on top of a high tension pole at the junction when electricity was restored.

He said the bird was electrocuted and it fell down and purportedly turned into a woman, with cowries on her neck.

Amadi said 10 other birds on the junction flew away when the electrocuted bird fell down.

Another source, who preferred anonymity, said the bird resembled a vulture.

The eyewitness, who went spiritual, said the banner of a cleric was on the pole, adding that the power of God in the clergyman caused the miracle.

“This witch has sucked people’s blood. It is God that did this miracle. The vulture was on top of the pole when power was restored. It was electrocuted and it died. When we heard the explosion, we turned and saw a bird. Suddenly it turned to a woman, a witch.”
