A dramatic incident has unfolded in KpareKpare, a farming community in the Krachi East Municipality of the Oti Region, where a mother’s quick intervention and faith saved her five-year-old son from an owl attack.
According to a GNA report, Madam Sena Gamade explained that her son had been battling mysterious ailments, including persistent facial swelling, for over two years despite multiple medical treatments.
She recounted that after exhausting various medications with no improvement, her son’s condition worsened when he dislocated his thigh.
Desperate for a solution, she sought the help of a traditional bonesetter at Okuma-Akura, a neighbouring community.
However, it was only after being directed to Pastor Emmanuel Nyande of the Christ Mountain Power Ministry that she found renewed hope.
Madam Gamade said the pastor revealed that her son’s soul had been sold in a spiritual realm. He led them through intense prayers, setting the stage for what she described as a miraculous intervention.
She narrated that the following day, while her son was attending to nature’s call, an owl suddenly swooped down from a tree and latched onto him with its sharp talons.
“In a split second, I gathered every ounce of courage and sprang into action. I grasped the owl, holding it back from my son as we struggled in a desperate bid for freedom. Feeling a sudden surge of energy like an electric shock, I managed to wrestle with the owl, prevented it from flying away with my son. The commotion attracted nearby residents, who rushed to the scene and helped kill the owl,” Madam Gamade added.
She said the dead bird was taken to the chapel as a testament to the power of faith and a mother’s bravery.
The owl was later burnt, symbolising the defeat of evil and the triumph of good.
