Bulletproof
(March
2001, Ghana) Tribal clashes are common in Northern Ghana, and people often
resort to witchcraft in the hope of becoming invulnerable to weapons. Aleobiga,
23, and fifteen fellow believers purchased a potion that would render them
invincible to bullets. After smearing the magical lotion over his body for two
weeks, Aleobiga volunteered to test the spell. He stood in a clearing while his
friends raised their weapons, aimed, fired...
The
jujuman who had supplied the defective magic was siezed and beaten for his
failure, and Aleobiga is now roaming the great Savannah in the sky.
