Dubai-Based Kenyan Woman Claims Boyfriend Used Her For Witchcraft: "Mungu Amenitoa Mbali"

• When Annah Peter Lebron fell in love with a Msambweni man, nothing prepared her for the bumpy ride ahead
• The bliss came to a screeching halt when it dawned on her that she had fallen for a ritualist who wanted her for use in witchcraft
• For years, she was taken to different witch doctors as the man viciously sought wealth, only to dump her for another woman when he finally became rich

Annah Peter Lebron had a problematic childhood, forcing her to flee home in pursuit of peace.

At the tender age of 13, she found herself in Changamwe in a stranger's house as a maid, a job she was paid through food and shelter.

Annah got German boyfriend

Annah managed to navigate the system and find a better employer who paid and treated her well.

Through this connection, she learned German, got a foreign boyfriend, and secured a job at one of the hotels in Mombasa.

Just when things started looking up, a friend snatched the boyfriend, after which her job ended.

"Nikajipata Msambweni milalani nikiuza uji, kaimati za sukari, vibibi, na vitumbua. I think it was juju," she narrated.

Annah's wrong step

In what seems like a rebound relationship, Annah married a man from Mswambweni in Kwale County.

Unbeknownst to her, she had gotten entangled with a man who was into witchcraft and was using her for rituals.

Anna says that when she questioned the frequent visits to a witch doctor, she was accused of being possessed and that they were cleansing her.

"They used to make me sit kwa caves huko mwabungo holding uteo ukiwa na tende, halua, vilua, ripe bananas, mkate wa sinia. They call it chano," she continued.

Lost baby after birth

Somewhere along the way, Annah fell pregnant but developed complications that saw her admitted to the hospital for several days.

She gave birth to an infant who, sadly, died and was buried while she was still bedridden in hospital.

To this day, Annah has no idea how her baby boy looked nor where the newborn was buried. Her husband did not visit her in the hospital.

For whatever reason, the young woman returned to her husband, whom she says had started growing in wealth.

Disentangled from the web of witchcraft

Annah's world crumbled when the man who had taken her through extreme suffering dumped her for another woman, sending her into depression.

As painful as it was, the development was the wake-up call she needed to disentangle from the relationship and seek salvation.

Annah says she is glad that God delivered her even though no one prayed for her, adding that she believes God was tired of seeing her suffering.

She also secured a well-paying job in Dubai and relocated, leaving the painful past behind.

"I would like to ask women to be careful with whom they connect their souls because spiritual soul ties almost cost me my life," she advised.

Nakuru woman who dropped out of school admitted to UK university

In another inspirational story, Maggie Gasheru was born into a broken family that worsened when her mother died a few years later, leaving her at the mercy of fate.

She dropped out of primary school, moved to the streets, and spent much of her teenage years trying to cling to life.

As fate would have it, she found a chance to move to the UK, where she returned to primary school and rose to the university.
