It was on September 11, 2014 that inhabitants of Nkolmesseng, a neighbourhood in Yaounde witnessed the unusual behavior of a lady in her mid-thirties.

On that fateful day, Carine B. was dressed only in a towel when she alighted from her car at the Nkolmesseng round-about. Eyewitness accounts said she first mixed some concoctions into water, then undressed and started bathing while chanting incantations.

Shocked by her actions, the crowd that had gathered around the scene shouted and alerted the police who arrived minutes later, arrested the lady and took her to the Nkolmesseng police station alongside her car. As at press time, she was still under police custody for interrogation.
