Double headed lizard in Gizo’s "Boubou"

The NDC MP for Shai Osoduku, Mike Gizo who has been under pressure from his party for what they consider a betrayal of trust, had the shock of his life during church service on Sunday, when a double-headed lizard was found in his ''boubou'' wear.

The incident happened at the Christian Action Faith Ministries where the MP worships.


In the course of the service, Mike Gizo reportedly rushed out of the church service holding the back of his boubou. Later, he came back, mounted the stage with the lizard which he said had two heads, wrapped in a paper in his left hand and told the congregation that ''this is another miracle of the Lord''.


He said the lizard was removed from inside his ''boubou'' as it moved, but he held it saying ''in the name of Jesus, Satan you are defeated''.


Whilst some members of the congregation believe the incident was a manifestation of an orchestrated spiritual attack on the NDC MP, others are of the view that the lizard’s appearance could be explained logically.

Those with the spiritual school of thought led by Bishop Nicholas Duncan Williams immediately launched into torrents of prayer to ''immobilize'' the attackers and undo whatever damage the lizard was sent to cause.


After intensive prayers, Gizo and his wife, Doreen were charged by the Bishop to keep their mouths shut and refrain from further interactions with the media and ''okro mouth'' friends and acquaintances.


Others who saw the incident from a purely logical perspective said there was momentary power failure during the service, following which some technical men went upstairs to switch on the church’s generator.


In the process of doing so, they pulled a tarpaulin which covered the equipment from where the lizard possibly dropped and entered the MP’s dress.
