My name is Samuel, and at 61, I almost lost the hardware business I had spent twenty-five years building in Bungoma.
For months, thieves had been targeting shops around our market. My hardware store was particularly vulnerable because I stocked expensive electrical equipment, power tools and construction materials.
After two attempted break-ins, I installed stronger locks and hired a night guard.
But the threats continued.
The warning I nearly ignored
One afternoon, a neighbouring trader introduced me to Dr Bokko, a traditional spiritual practitioner.
She explained that some business owners sought his protection rituals when facing repeated theft.
I contacted him and described my situation.
He offered a traditional business protection ritual, which I decided to try.
I also improved my security arrangements.
Five nights later, something extraordinary happened.
The screams that woke everyone
At approximately 3 a.m., residents heard men screaming outside my shop.
According to witnesses, three intruders had forced open a rear entrance when a swarm of bees suddenly emerged from the roof.
The frightened men abandoned their tools and ran into the street.
Two reportedly sought shelter beneath a parked lorry while residents contacted police.
By morning, the incident had become the talk of the market.
Police examined the damaged entrance and collected items left behind.
I later discovered that bees had established a colony inside the roof.
Although neighbours connected the incident to Dr Bokko’s ritual, I could not establish any supernatural explanation.
I arranged for a beekeeper to relocate the colony safely and reinforced the building.
The experience reminded me how quickly years of hard work could be threatened.
Today, I remain grateful that my business survived the attempted break-in.
I continue taking practical security precautions while respecting the spiritual beliefs that helped me remain hopeful during that frightening period.
