Invincible
(March
2001, Ghana)
Tribal
clashes are common in Northern Ghana, and people often resort to witchcraft in

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 seized and beaten for his failure, and Aleobiga is now roaming the great Savannah in the sky
