A grieving mother from Soysambu village in Tongaren, Bungoma county, has revealed the tragic loss of five out of her nine children under unclear conditions.
Josephine Nekesa, in a special conversation withArticlepedia Today.co.ke, emotionally described the tragic passing of each of her children.
"God has blessed me with my first three sets of twins, and later on, I had two more sets, totaling nine children," she said. Nekesa mentioned that her problems started when she left Nandi Hills, where she was employed, to visit her ill uncle.
Was a man from Bungoma place a curse on Josephine Nekesa?
A few days following her arrival, her uncle requested her to purchase some household supplies.
"He insisted I purchase three kilograms of sugar, wheat flour, and five liters of milk. I informed him I didn't have any money because I hadn't yet found stable employment in Nandi Hills," she said.
The heartbroken mother stated that she had difficulty gathering enough funds for her return trip.
Unhappy with her reply, the uncle warned that a dire consequence would befall her children.
He claimed I would witness it firsthand. He informed me that even the children I had, he would twist their necks. From that day onward, my children began to die in unusual ways that I couldn't comprehend.
What happened to Nekesa's 5 children?
After coming back to Nandi Hills, Nekesa, who is now the mother of four children who lived, mentioned that her first child passed away when he was just one month old, and his twin sister died at 10 months.
When she delivered her second pair of twins, Nekesa mentioned that she needed to work, leaving her young children with their grandmother as she struggled to support herself at a tea farm.
She remembered getting a call to come back home because one of the infants was having difficulty breathing.
"He wasn't even able to nurse. We took him to a hospital in Nandi Town, and three days later, he passed away. A few months later, when I was out getting water, my house caught fire, and my child died in the flames," she said.
As per Nekesa, the following group of twins she encountered experienced difficulties during birth, yet both managed to survive. Nevertheless, she later lost another child, who became ill and passed away within a few hours.
She mentioned that her attempts to reconcile with her uncle had failed, since he kept treating her poorly.
Nekesa stated that the man was difficult to approach and frequently insulted her and her children whenever he had the opportunity, which is why she ultimately stopped attempting to make things right.
A four-child mother wept as she confessed that losing her kids had caused her unbearable sorrow, and there were moments when she wished the angel of death had taken her as well.
"He should have taken my life and left my children out of it. All of this occurred due to shopping? It was all because of shopping," she stated.
She begged supporters to assist her, stating that she completely depended on her daughter, Edna Nelima, for survival.
