A 2 MONTHS OLD BABY IS TALKING, CALLING MOTHER BY NAME
A BIZARRE incident has been reported in Chongwe’s Chikonkoto village where a two-month-old infant is allegedly able to talk, causing fear among residents who are now demanding the banishment of the baby and her family.
According to eyewitnesses, the infant, who cannot yet walk or sit up, calls out for her mother, Alice, when distressed, using phrases such as “Alice bwela unitenge sunvela nilila’ (Alice, come and get me, can’t you hear that I’m crying?)” or “Alicia, navela njala, nifuna kudya’ (Alice, I am hungry, I want to eat.)”
The infant’s great grandmother, Loveness Musawa, believes the baby is demon-possessed, while headwoman Chikonkoto, village secretary Edmond Matambo, and other villagers have confirmed the strange occurrences, describing them as “jaw dropping” and “bizarre.”
However, the situation has taken a darker turn, with residents pressuring headwoman Chikonkoto to banish the family from the village, fearing that the infant’s alleged ability to talk may bring evil spirits or misfortune to the community.
