On February 21, 2022, somebody posted a video on Facebook showing an owl that was caught in Enugu State. The post says: “Somewhere in Igbo-Eze South Enugu State an owl which witchcrafts used to parade was caught red-handed, the owl looked at the people that caught it and shaken its head, already knowing that it’s finished. One down. Villagers waiting something to happen to someone around.”
They believe that now the owl has been caught, the planned witchcraft has been scuttled and the alleged witch would eventually die. According to the post, the owl looked at the people who caught it and shook its head. That means it was unhappy that the witchcraft scheme has failed, or has been foiled. The post concludes that “Villagers are awaiting something to happen to someone around.
