Boy, sadly losing finger after wearing friend’s sakawa ring

A 19-year-old teenager is sadly losing his finger after wearing his friend’s ring (sakawa) made for spiritual purposes.

According to close relatives, the victim reported that he found his friend’s ring lying on a table while they played a video game at Kasoa Iron City.

The shine from the silver ring attracted him so he picked and wore it overnight, only to wake up with a swollen index finger.

All efforts to remove the ring proved unsuccessful, as blacksmiths only succeeded in breaking off part of the ring.

It is said the family of the teenager has reached out to pastors and doctors, but all hopes seem to be lost.

What is beyond the resident’s comprehension is how the ring is outgrowing into the teenager’s flesh and bones.

Information gathered indicates that the owner revealed the ring is resistant to water, as ordered by his spiritual advisor.

It is also reported the owner demanded a newborn baby’s blood to appease the deity to avert the consequence.
