Confusion As Demonic Possessed Student Halts Lecture At UDUS, Usmanu Danfodiyo University In Sokoto
A peaceful Mathematics lecture at the Usmanu Danfodiyo University, Sokoto (UDUS) ended in confusion, following a strange display by a 200-Level female student.
The girl, said to have been possessed, lost her consciousness and put up strange displays. She was also said to have spoken incomprehensibly.
Immediately she started her display, she was surrounded by her colleagues, who rushed her out of PTF Lecture Hall where they were having MAT 207 class.
Rather than taking her to the school clinic, she was laid in front of the lecture hall where a student recited Arabic verses to heal her. After some minutes, the victim regained her consciousness.
There was uproar among the people who gathered at the scene, with some suggesting that she was possessed by a spirit.
It is a common belief among students that there are genies around the school making students to behave strangely and exhibit epileptic display.
According to some students, the victims may have exposed themselves to be possessed unknowingly.
Aishat Umar, who claimed to have been a victim, said her parents struggled to find solution when she was possessed by the genie.
She said:
“I had no idea what was going on whenever I was possessed by the genie. I usually lost consciousness but I noticed how it happened to some of my colleagues. My parents tried a lot when I was seeking remedy through several medical approaches. However, medical tests indicated there was nothing wrong with me. Some of the doctors admitted that the problem was caused by spiritual possession.”
She said she was not able to participate in public events until she was healed of the problem.
“I used to stay away from public gatherings to avoid embarrassment. Sometimes, it happened during classes and because of that, lecturers would end the classes. I found it difficult to continue with school due to shame. I remember it happened to me during my matriculation. It took time before I was healed.”
Another student, who simply identified herself as Kauthar, explained some other ways in which the spirit could possess students.
“Genies are invisible creatures that can possess anyone when exposed to things that attract them. They can cause people to act irrationally when one mistakenly pours hot water on them,” she said.

15 years ago, when I was serving in the northern state a student of mine was possesed too. Not a very good sight. It’s mostly common in the north. May God have mercy.

Is “genie” the same as “witch” or “evil spirit” which most Naija people attribute occurrences such as described here to? If the pronouncement o f some words on victims can bring solution, then that solution should be shared with others for use if need arises as people in certain cultures would do. Such behaviours as described sometimes occur and are very frightening to watch.

Seriously students should be very careful of the kind of friends they make. Association is assimilation. Who you hang around with determines what hangs around your life. Wrong Friendship leaves you with a scar, it could be deadly atimes

Jinn possession is not peculiar. Jinn possess anyone usually woman for any reason. We have detailed knowledge of them in islam to the extent that there is a complete chapter for them in the Quran. There different types of Jinns. The wicked most ones dont live close to human. They also have religions. There are muslim Jinn, Christian, Jewish, Hindu Jinns etc.
They eat. they go to school and they work. They have career. They also live amongst human. They live pretty much everywhere. Every human on this planet has jinn born with them. This is why, if evil person sends “asasi” on another human, if that human is weak spiritually, ‘asasi’ will connect to our qareen (jinn) and the jinn in our body easily executes the plan.
As for a man who is spiritually sound, inner Jinn can not overshadow him. Jinn do possess beautiful woman they like. If you want to know this, if someone is possessed, take him or her to a raqi(muslim healer) and they recite verses of Quran and talk to the Jinn and ask him to leave to the woman. Some of them have children with male Jinn without knowing. This is what Yoruba termed “oko orun”
So the student who recited Quran on her was very smart. That’s exactly what was needed to be done quickly to diagnose the problem and keep Jinn at bay because verse of Quran are very effective on Jinn than human.
Sometimes, Jinn possess human to “teach” them lesson like someone who denies thier existence or a muslim who doesn’t pray. This is why muslims are recommended to recite the second chapter of Quran every 3 days. If you can not, then at least play it on electronic device every three days. Jinn are not restricted to the North. They are everywhere around the world. They are quiet present in Yorubaland. They actively involve in politics nationally and internationally because politicians use them. This is what was used o Buhari during his sickness. Jinn are also instigators of wars around the world bcus politicians who use them MUST have a pact with them in order for the Jinns to fulfil thier needs.
May Allah protect us from evil of our own soul and evil by men.

All these superstitions are endless.. there is nothing like genie or anything spiritual. Its either a mental disorder or an act.. during my secondary school days, cains do a very good job at driving out this ‘so called’ spiritual genies lols…

Yes, mental disorder exist. Appearance and reality are opposite of each other. That’s why when a patient is taken to a raqi the first thing is diagnosis to see if the person is possessed. If he’s not raqi advices the client should be addressed medically.
We believe in the existence of jinn. If you don’t that’s your problem. The day they show you their reality don’t come here to cry out
