Shock and disbelief swept through a small village in Kakamega County when a woman presumed dead suddenly appeared at her own funeral service. The ceremony, which had drawn relatives, neighbors, and clergy, came to a complete standstill when the “deceased” walked through the church doors alive and well, dressed in a red kitenge dress and sunglasses, and carrying a handbag.

At first, mourners thought they were witnessing a ghost. A few screamed and others fainted, while the priest paused mid-sermon, clutching the pulpit in visible confusion.

Some family members broke down in tears, unsure whether to run or rejoice. But it was when the woman calmly removed her sunglasses and declared, “You buried the wrong person,” that the atmosphere turned from fear to utter chaos.

The woman, 36-year-old Esther Lumbasi, had been reported missing for three months. When a badly decomposed body matching her physical features was found in a nearby forest, her family had been quick to claim it.

A rushed burial plan followed, and a date for the funeral was set. Little did they know, Esther had been alive the entire time held hostage in Nairobi by individuals she later claimed were hired to eliminate her.

In front of the stunned crowd, she told her story: she had been abducted while on her way to a job interview. Her captors blindfolded and confined her in a room for weeks, demanding that she sign documents surrendering family land to unknown third parties.

When she refused, they threatened her life. It was only by divine intervention, she said, that she managed to escape after one of the guards took pity on her and left the door unlocked.

Her family, still overwhelmed, could hardly believe what they were hearing. Her younger brother dropped to his knees, weeping. Her elderly mother kept asking, “Is it really you?” and refused to let go of her hand. The coffin that had moments earlier been surrounded by mourners was left unattended as attention shifted entirely to Esther.

But Esther’s return was not just a stroke of luck. Unknown to many, during her captivity, she had managed to communicate in secret with an old friend who advised her to reach out to Kiwanga Doctors.

Desperate and afraid, she used a smuggled phone to contact them. Through a spiritual intervention session, the Kiwanga team conducted a powerful protection and escape spell, along with guidance on how to gain the captor’s trust. Within two weeks, she was free.

Esther also revealed that her abduction was not random. It had been orchestrated by her distant relatives who had been eyeing the family’s land.

The same people had falsely identified the body in the forest, perhaps to speed up the land succession process. Her unexpected return not only exposed the sinister plot but also halted any plans to transfer ownership of the land.

After the funeral turned dramatic reunion, the police were immediately informed. Investigations into the body mistakenly buried in her place are ongoing, and DNA tests are expected to identify the deceased. Meanwhile, those suspected of conspiring in her abduction have been summoned for questioning.

The entire village has been left shaken. “We’ve never seen anything like this. It’s like a Nollywood movie,” one elderly villager commented. But to Esther, it’s a second chance at life and justice.

She now spends her days regaining her strength and caring for her mother, and she’s determined to legally pursue the individuals behind her abduction.

She credits her safety, escape, and even the divine timing of her return to Kiwanga Doctors. “Without their help, I don’t think I’d be standing here today.

Their protection spell gave me the strength, courage, and clarity to survive and escape. And everything happened exactly as they predicted.”
