Residents of Assakio Development Area in Lafia,
Nasarawa State were thrown into confusion on
Saturday following the sudden appearance of a
strange cross five feet away from a central
mosque in the community.
The mysterious sighting attracted a mammoth
crowd from Assakio and its environs with many
praying for forgiveness and blessings.
A 15 year-old-girl, Hajara Hussaini, in an
interview with Punch said she first sighted the
sign of a cross at about 8pm on Wednesday.
Hussaini, who said she had been sent on an
errand by her parents, explained that when she
saw a strange light, she as gripped by fear and
rushed back home to alert her mother, Matan
Liman.
Confirming the incident to journalists, Matan said
she had sent her daughter to visit her
grandmother. The middle-aged woman added that
her daughter saw the crucifix while returning from
the errand.
Other eyewitnesses, who spoke to Punch at the
scene of the sighting, expressed fear and
bewilderment.
An Enugu State native, Grace Eze, who resides in
the Ashige area of the community, added that she
got healed after visiting the scene of the cross.
She said, “I underwent a surgery about two years
ago after which I started to experience a
movement in my body. But after praying before
the cross, I got healed.”
