The case of Ahmed Awela, Murtala (Eti Bobo) among other Ebira youths

For an event that happens with few or no significant eye witness, the news come in different versions; some partially correct, others completely cooked up.

But they had meet the young Obege in the forest roasting a fair member of the forest’s game, all alone - and unarmed! The elders had to defer to this wonderful boy. Obege as an adult was more than human. His fame had spread all over the land: he was a healer of most seemingly incurable diseases, he was a rain maker, assumed more divin...
