Nigerian woman known for her spiritual abilities used a machete in a ritual to free a man from his “spiritual wife.” The incident occurred at a riverbank, where the spiritualist performed the ceremony.
The man had been facing many problems, which he believed were caused by being married to a spiritual entity.
During the ritual, the man was seen lying on one half of a local mat, while the other half, adorned with female clothing representing the spiritual wife, was cut away by the spiritualist with a machete. This act was symbolic of severing the ties between him and his spiritual wife.
