The event unfolded around the Effurun market area in Uvwie Local Government Area, where reports began circulating about a lady allegedly vomiting naira notes after her panties were stolen from her home several weeks prior.
The news spread like wildfire throughout the town, creating confusion and intrigue as residents shared and debated the details. Some individuals claimed that the lady was seen expelling large sums of money, while others reported she was vomiting high- denomination naira notes. A few even suggested that the lady had regurgitated foreign currencies, with particular emphasis on US dollars.
Eyewitnesses at the Effurun market spoke of a bizarre scene that took place shortly after the incident was reported. According to some, it took the intervention of a local pastor to stop the lady from continuing to vomit money.
The pastor, they said, spent several hours praying for her, after which the vomiting subsided. However, the drama did not end there. The lady, who was reportedly covered with a wrapper by neighbors during the episode, was said to have had her face shielded from public view throughout the ordeal.
The situation became even more puzzling when the story of the incident was traced back to Ogaga Street, a locality within the area. Despite the details of her appearance remaining unclear, the incident was corroborated by various sources, though none could provide concrete evidence or photographs to confirm the exact nature of the episode.
The narrative took a darker turn as residents speculated about the involvement of ritualists, also known as ” Yahoo boys” in the region, whose infamous activities have been associated with the use of human body parts and other bizarre practices for occult rituals.
A number of individuals in Warri began whispering that the theft of the lady’ s panties was not merely an act of opportunistic theft but a part of a wider trend involving ritual practices.
According to these reports, the panties, once stolen, were believed to have been used in money- making rituals. The market value of these stolen panties was reported to be as high as N250, 000, further fueling the fear and anxiety in the community.
As the story unfolded, it became clear that while the details remained murky, the rumors and fears surrounding the event were enough to send shockwaves through the local community.
While some dismissed the claims as superstition and exaggerated gossip, others remained convinced that the bizarre episode was tied to the sinister world of ritualism that has plagued various parts of Nigeria.
This incident highlights the deep- seated fear of ritualistic practices that continues to pervade some communities in Nigeria, where stories of people disappearing for ritual purposes or encountering strange occurrences are common. The Warri episode serves as a reminder of the ongoing struggles faced by society to combat the dangerous and often inexplicable forces that fuel such practices.
While the exact truth behind the ” vomiting money” incident remains unclear, the sensational nature of the story and the subsequent discussions about ritual practices underscore the power of rumors in shaping public perception, especially in communities already on edge due to rising concerns about ritualism and other criminal activities.
