Photo: The Mystery Tree That Trapped The Little Boy

According to a watsapp post, the boy belongs to one of the rural primary/community schools in Luapula Province. A school boy was trapped in a tree cleft whilst playing. The old men have long been advising the children not to play around the feared tree but as usual, children disobeyed the order.

The villagers have  believe that the tree is spiritual and has resisted uprooting for many years. Efforts by community school to to rescue the boy failed as the more they tried to pull him out, the more squeezed he was getting until the grey haired old men and women went there to plead with the spirits of the tree to free the boy as he was innocent.

After a black chicken sacrifice, the tree freed the little boy and he was back in class learning happily. Surprisingly, he was found without a scratch

    This story is not true for Luapula province. Luapula does not have the kind of people in the photo.
    Those who have visited Luapula and know it like l do would quickly tell that there’s no place in Luapula where people look like those in the photo.

    Nchelenge, Kawambwa, Mwense, Mansa Samfya and all sub district remotes have people completely different from what l have seen in the photo. If you say they are refuges may be l can take a pinch of sugar. But again I know Congolese are also not like that. Those have a characteristic of Countries around the Equator.
