Mombasa village hires ghost buster to flush out poverty

Tension is high in parts of Bamburi in Mombasa County after a section of locals allegedly hired a ghost buster from Lunga Lunga along the Kenya-Tanzania boarder to flush out poverty in the area.

Abdallah Mshihiri and four of his members under their group popularly known as Beba Beba Kimbunga have camped at Loma village in Kisauni Sub County to hunt for suspected witches that have grounded development among the residents.

There was panic when Mshihiri arrived at the village and started engaging in extraordinary rituals before instructing his members to put his body in a casket and carry it around the village seven times while singing.

Mama Fatuma Omar Soud confirmed that she invited the witch doctors to come and assist the village to rid witchcraft off the area which has caused the residents to languish in poverty.

The villagers alleged that despite Loma village having bright students some of who are talented in sports, most of them have dropped out of school.

She said that some locals have been subjected to sexual molestation by demons at night thus necessitated an exorcism.

On the other hand, there was drama when the leader of  the Beba beba Kimbunga group Abdalla Mshihiri was forced to suspend his demon hunt mission after one of his member went in a coma as he was trying to flush out evil spirits in a hole.

However, Mshihiri and his group carried the victim and put him on top of a grave before he regained consciousness.
