‘Mysterious’ fires plague pastor in North

RESIDENTS in the Omusati Region believe there is something supernatural going on at the home of retired Elcin Pastor Benjamin Shuuveni.

According to Pastor Shuuveni (76), of Oluteyi near Okahao, “mysterious” fires started on the thatched roofs of his huts on Wednesday afternoon. Three huts have caught fire, but the fires were small and easily extinguished with water.”This is really a mystery, I haven’t seen such a thing in my life,” Pastor Shuuveni told The Namibian.So far, the fires have caused only minor damage to the thatched roofs.”I am trusting in God … and I am sure these demons will disappear from my house,” he said.Unexplained fires have been reported at two other homesteads in the Omusati Region this year.The first occurred at the homestead of an old woman at Okapya village near Oshikuku.The second incident was reported by Theonila Kakaya at Oshoogolo village, also near Oshikuku.All her belongings and food stores were destroyed.Three huts have caught fire, but the fires were small and easily extinguished with water.”This is really a mystery, I haven’t seen such a thing in my life,” Pastor Shuuveni told The Namibian.So far, the fires have caused only minor damage to the thatched roofs.”I am trusting in God … and I am sure these demons will disappear from my house,” he said.Unexplained fires have been reported at two other homesteads in the Omusati Region this year.The first occurred at the homestead of an old woman at Okapya village near Oshikuku.The second incident was reported by Theonila Kakaya at Oshoogolo village, also near Oshikuku.All her belongings and food stores were destroyed.
