Update: Bird That Turned Into A Woman In Lagos, Dies.

Remember the story of a bird that fell off a high tension wire at Oshodi, and turned into a woman? Well, the woman has been confirmed dead.

The Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Kenneth Nwosu said:

“Eyewitnesses said there was a bird which fell down and turned into a woman. So, a large crowd gathered round her. She was not attacked. Eventually, when the police got there, they rescued the woman from the surging crowd. But unfortunately, she died, and her body has been deposited at the Mainland General Hospital’s morgue.”

A policeman at the junction told Punch ,the woman was coming from the Agbado Ijaiye area of Lagos, and heading for her husband’s residence in Mushin.It was learnt from eyewitnesses that a bird had been seen flying around the area, and had hit a high tension cable and landed on the ground. One Mr. Sowoloa, who claimed to be an eyewitness, said:

“It was at 12 in the afternoon. I was also at the bus stop with friends. We saw one of the birds hit a high-tension cable. It shrieked and landed on the ground. Before we took any notice, it was a badly burnt woman we saw.It is unbelievable but it is true. When we spoke to the woman, she claimed to have some magical powers, and had killed several people. She added that she was returning to her husband’s house in Mushin before the incident. So, some people started taking her photographs.”
