After eating the biscuits in the night, I found myself in a place where I met so many people who welcomed me and I started attending meetings with them in the spiritual realm.
“When I was coming to Lagos, my group said I should bring the blood, but I said no because I didn’t want to spill human blood.
“We had a meeting and I begged them to send me to do another thing, but they asked what I wanted. I told them I didn’t want to shed any blood, but I could do any other thing.”
The teenager, however, warned parents to be careful who they employ as domestic staff and that children should stop accepting gift items, especially food, candies, and drinks from schoolmates as many of them were on assignment to initiate more people into the demonic kingdom.
