A wealthy British woman narrated the nightmarish experience she went through while she tried to establish a night club in the coastal town of Watamu in Kenya.
The woman, Nikki Roberts, relocated from the UK after the death of her fiancé, Robin, who was killed in a motorbike accident.
After the passing of Robin, she received his life assurance sum and moved to Kenya with her property which included state of the art sound system to use for the business.
"It had always been my dream to own a business in Africa, especially a night club in Watamu because I had spotted a niche and was sure it would boom," she stated.
While looking to establish the business, she caught the eye of a local, Moffet Ombongi, who lured her with his charm. The two dated and were faced with hurdles in their quest to set up the business.
She sought to get a permit from a masseuse she considered a friend, who ended up swindling her. She eventually found another contact referred to as Paul, who, after paying a certain sum, delivered a genuine permit for the business.
As soon as the business permit materialised, Nikki noticed weird things put in their compounds and were advised by Paul, who later emerged to be a con artist, that their house was cursed and they had to perform some rituals to undo the curses.
The couple was led to a witch doctor who directed Nikki to lie in a shallow grave as he performed what was a reversal ritual.
As Nikki lay in the grave, the witch doctor chanted and plucked the feathers off a chicken, throwing them on her.
"They slit the chicken's neck and the hot blood poured on me. At that point, I was really shaken," she stated.
The ritual, they believed, removed the curse and she was able to carry on with her plans to set up a night club. However, they still had a couple of hurdles as she fell victim to malice from locals.
At a time when she had acquired property to run her business, she was unexpectedly captured by policemen who took her before a magistrate.
"I was accused of an unpaid electricity bill of Ksh300,000. I didn't have the money and was dragged to the police lorry crying and screaming. I knew I was going to jail," she stated.
She spent 10 days in remand where the conditions were horrendous. On being released, she found that everything had been taken out, the locks changed and the magistrate who had sent her to jail now owned the premise.
Nikki also narrated how difficult it was for her to give birth in Watamu where she had to undergo an emergency c-section performed by amateur doctors.
