"#END TIME STORY, HAPPENED LIVE IN BORI TODAY

I witnessed live today at BMGS, Bori Main Gate. An Akwa Ibom woman who had been pregnant for 3 years, came for a church deliverance in a ministry owned by a young prophet from Akwa Ibom State and gave birth to a live dog.

It occurred that while in warfare prayers, a revelation came that the mother-in-law had charmed her and replaced her child with a live dog.

That's the puppy in the pics with the woman on the bike, covered with a wrapper.

I personally advised that she should be covered to avoid stigmatization and shame because the crowd was much to look and took snapshots. The dog refused to be burnt even after several hours of applying fuel and firewood."

Another witness, Don Kpiriyor, a student, also took to Facebook to confirm the story with this post:

"What a wicked world! A lady gave birth to a dog today at BMGS Bori; I saw it. You can see a huge crowd of people that were there."

This is not the first time such a strange birth has been witnessed in Nigeria. Early this year, in February to be precise, residents of Rumuowha Eneka community in Port Harcourt, the capital of the state were thrown into shock and fright after a woman who had been carrying a three-year-old pregnancy allegedly gave birth to a goat.

According to an eyewitness Simeon Chukwu who posted the incident on his Facebook wall, the woman was delivered of the goat after a prayer and fasting period at a branch of the Redeemed Christian Church of God [RCCG], at the Karaka Community Hall in the area.
