“It was tough; after prayers, some of them would always cry. Whenever one of my sons saw me with a Bible he would ask what I was doing with it. At one point, he said he would take me to where I could become a witch and I agreed. He said that once I became a witch we would be okay.”
The actress said that she gave into her son’s idea because of the suffering they were going through and went to the place with him, her son dragged her out after he realized the price it comes with.
“I agreed and he took me somewhere, but before God and man, when I got there and they told me the requirements, I was shocked. They said it was the child I loved the most that would be used for sacrifice.
“I told the person that it was the child I loved most that brought me to the place. At that point, my son held my hand and said it was time to go home,” she added.
