So there is this ‘Ogboni’ cult ruler and powerful herbalist in Akure
North Local Government Area of Ondo State called Sunday Boboye and he has just dumped his
deities for Christ.
The herbalist who
has now renounced his 10 years of service to the Satan, disclosed how he
used satanic powers to destroy so many lives.
According to him, he had committed terrible sins with the dark powers the ancestral gods he served gave him.
On why he joined the occultic group, Ogboni, he said, “I wanted powers
to face the mighty and powerful people who have usurped my fathers’
land. To do this, I needed to accept one of the heist titles in the land
and which was my family’s royal entitlement. It is the Ajagun (General
at war) of Ode land”
After his initiation, he had access to
dreaded powers that not only made him very popular in Ondo State but
also made many to fear and tremble before him.
“If I decreed that
somebody would die tomorrow, that is what will happen. The person will
die. If I tell somebody that he would not eat the next day, the person
must be prepared because that is what would happen. And if I decreed
that someone would not sleep in his house the following night. It also
would also happen. I was doing all these using the dark powers bestowed
on me by serving the devil.
“I had all the ancestral gods in
Yoruba cosmology. I had Sango, Ogun, Osanyin, Iya Ogbo, and Osun among
others. Whenever I wanted to go and fight on land issues, I used to kill
dogs for Ogun to appease him to give me victory. I also appeased other
gods with their demands, but they failed me, they didn’t tell me I
would have a serious case before it happened and when it happened they
couldn’t save me except God.” Boboye disclosed.
In his shrine, there
is a repulsive image of the head of an old woman, he referred to as Iya
Aye or Iya Ogbo, otherwise called the earth’s mother or the Ogbonis’
mother.
“All the witches meet at her place. But she is a molded
image. If there is a puzzle to be resolved, we visit her and present the
issue, the witches then respond to us and make it look like she did so.
There is also the Sigidi. Whenever we want to attack someone with a
spiritual arrow, we christen the Sigidi after the person to be attacked
so that the Sigidi would represent the victim spiritually. We then
launch the arrow at the Sigidi in order to hit the victim. And after the
attack, we wash off the victim’s name on Sigidi so that we can use it
to represent another person in the future.”
“Then
there is the antelope’s head; if the victim on whose land the head is
buried, steps on this, he would suddenly have his legs and other parts
swollen and that would eventually lead to his death.
While
narrating the incident that led to his conversion to Christianity,
Boboye said: “In January, an unusual Christian from The Lord’s Chosen
church who had come to buy some pieces of land from me, challenged me on
the gods I was serving.
“I had boasted to him that I had remained
safe, taking over all our ancestral land from our enemies all these
years because the gods of my fathers have been protecting me. But the
man told me that the only most powerful, who can protect me surely is
Jesus Christ. He further advised me to accept Jesus Christ as my Lord
and savior but I said that couldn’t happen because I couldn’t lose the
tremendous powers I have. The man then told me that if I refused to
accept Christ and serve the true living God, God would arrest me one day
and bring me to Him. I told him to tell his God to bring me to Him if
He likes.”
“It wasn’t up to a month after that encounter; I got roped in a robbery case."
On getting to the Special Anti-robbery Squad (SARS) of the police in Akure, he was arrested and threw in jail.
“Whenever,
I have a case with the police, I don’t spend more than five minutes
before solving it because I’m very popular with the police in the
state…the policemen feared me, because I could pronounce a curse on them
and they would be dismissed, but that night things turned suddenly
against me. The police threw me into the cell and the next morning, my
driver was brought to me. I was asked if I knew him and I said he is my
driver. The police then said that I was being arrested on the suspicion
that I sent the boy to rob.”
“My driver denied robbing anybody but
the policemen beat the hell out of the two of us and threw us into the
cell again. The next morning I was taken to the court and from there I
was sent back to prison. And that was when a long nightmare began for
me. I was detained and refused bail for over five months but God Himself
visited me in the prison.”
One of his mates in the prison, a deadly thug turned Christian convert, Dagas preached to him.
“A
prison mate named Dagas, who was jailed for being a deadly thug but had
become a Christian convert in prison, preached to me and I was touched.
One day, I had a powerful dream after praying with Dagas. I saw my dad
by my bed in prison. He asked me if all the ancestral gods I was serving
have saved me. He gave me a Yoruba Bible and asked me to first read
Psalm 119: 68 which reads: ‘before I was afflicted, I had gone astray’.
“When
I woke up and told Daggas about the dream, he praised God and said that
my being imprisoned was God’s design to save me. Dagas said that it
wasn’t my father who appeared in my dream but God himself.
“The
brother urged me to continue to pray to God to deliver me from the
prison…Barely a week after, the same judge who had been refusing me
bail, rejected several sureties and all that, miraculously granted me
bail.”
Having surrendered to Christ at the Lord’s Chosen Charismatic
Revival Ministries, Boboye advised the other traditional rulers,
saying: “My advice to all the Obas and the chiefs is that they should
accept Christ because He is the one that can solve their problems.
“Now
that I have accepted Christ, I have peace of mind, I’m no longer afraid
of anybody. In fact, before anything would happen to me, God would have
revealed it to me in details in a vision. I have burn all the shrines I
built for these small gods and I have denounced them publicly”
Halleluyah!
