His mum decided to look for help. She knew her son was not ordinary and she feared that something bad would happen to him soon if she does not act.
From Churches to mosques and spiritualists; she visited them all. Hospitals says nothing is wrong with her child except for constant dehydration and lack of nutrition.
Often they prescribe intravenous liquid and nutritional supplements just so that he will be healthy.
When his case got so serious that even the mum was beginning to lose faith in his recovery, someone directed her to a spiritualist.
“That man is very powerful. There is nothing that he cannot do” The person proclaimed.
Adekunle’s mum seek the man’s location and pleaded for his assistance.
“Baba” She called the man. “Please help me, save my son”.
“Your son is not someone ordinary. He has a rare gift” The spiritualist said.
“Gift! This is not a gift.” His mum countered.
The Spiritualist took some cowries in his palms, spoke some incantations. Shook the cowries around and poured them on the floor. He stared into them in an attempt to read the situation spiritually.
“Your son is living in between worlds.” The spiritualist began.
“He has the ability to glance through the veils of our world and peep into other worlds”. The spiritualist said.
“How can we stop it” Adekunle’s mother interrupted.
“Stop it? Why would you want to stop it?” The spiritualist asked and added “Your son has a gift”.
“Look at him sir. Does he look gifted?” Adekunle’s mum questioned.
Both of them glanced at Adekunle where he sat on the floor talking to himself.
“My son doesn’t eat anymore, he doesn’t sleep. The hospital treats him for high blood pressure. Sir please help me.” Adekunle’s mum pleaded.
“What do you want me to do?” The spiritualist asked.
“Take it away. The gift, everything, please take it away”. Adekunle’s mum begged.
