Residents of a quiet community in Delta State were thrown into confusion and fear in the early hours of Tuesday after a strange incident in which a bird allegedly turned into an elderly woman.
According to eyewitnesses, the mysterious event occurred around 5 a.m. when the bird reportedly fell from an electric pole after villagers heard unusual cries coming from the area. To their astonishment, the bird was said to have transformed into an old woman who lay weakly on the ground.
A resident identified as Mama Rose recounted the experience, saying the bird had been flying around since midnight, making strange noises.
“We were hearing strange sounds from the sky, and when the bird fell, it turned into a woman before our eyes. Everybody ran because we were scared,” she said.
The bizarre development quickly drew a large crowd as residents gathered to witness the scene. While some attributed the occurrence to witchcraft, others suggested it might have been a spiritual attack gone wrong.
Local vigilantes were reportedly called in to disperse the crowd and ensure the woman’s safety. She was later taken away by security operatives for protection and possible investigation.
As of press time, no official statement had been issued by authorities, but tension continues to grip the community as residents remain in shock and disbelief over the strange event
