Residents of Gege in Ibadan South West Local Government area of Oyo State were shocked on Tuesday, when a fish bought by a middle aged woman, Mrs. Ramota Salawu, suddenly turned to half human.
Hundreds of residents struggled to see the miracle fish where it was placed inside water in a brown bucket at Akindele Compound, Gege , Ibadan, the home of Mrs. Salawu .
When a source visited the compound, the said miracle fish has long white hair. The face has resemblance of a baby, while the trunk is that of a fish.
While narrating her experience, Mrs. Salawu said “I went to where we usually buy fish at Kola Eleja , Oke Ado, Ibadan to buy fish. After I finished, I boarded Okada to my place to prepare the fish for sale. Before getting the fish out of the ice-pack, we need to use knife to remove them and use water to defreeze.
“I was shocked to see the frozen fish developed into a living being in the water, the description of which showed half human and half fish. I quickly called by father and some alfas to see the strange fish.”
The fish seller could not gather herself together as she was overwhelmed by what happened.
The father of the woman, a retired civil servant, Pa Rauf Salawu expressed bewilderment over the miracle fish, adding that he has never seen such a thing before.
He said,” It was around 11am, when I started hearing the voice of my daughter while I was resting on my bed. She was shouting and screaming, such that people in the compound were attracted. Then, I decided to check what the problem was. I took along my Quran and on getting there my daughter has gone to call Sheu , a Muslim leader in the neighbourhood .
I saw the strange fish inside water in the bucket. It was strange. How can a fish bought in the cold room developed into human? That I cannot fully explain.”
There was heavy presence of policemen from the Mapo Police Station to control the crowd and maintain peace and order. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

ReplyDeleteIts a false story
ReplyDeleteIf a source who I guess is working with NE could narrate the story that the fish has white hair, why can't we get a pix of it. NE protect your integrity
ReplyDeleteNE make una dey try abeg.na so una talk say dem don open 7star hotel in Nigeria.we ardent lovers of NE will want to trust the news we get from u.if there's a fish with human head and u r reporting,we should see pics
ReplyDeletethis is non-sense with picture to prove.
ReplyDeleteEven with pictures, you still won't be able to proof a thing. Is it not to put a picture of fish on one side and picture of Human being at another side abi? Or get image clip of something like Mermaid which can be gotten from the internet. So with or without pictures, if you don't believe, you leave it. Shikina
ReplyDeleteNigerianeye should not be reporting any thing that would jeopardize their integrity. Where is the prove of this?
ReplyDeleteHere's the picture..taraun
ReplyDeleteHave you seen? people bring stories and make up lies and provoke the people incharge of this association. If she bought such fish in the market at Oke Odo, the policemen needs to collect a statement and following the defendant to the area to findout the truth, by taking the person-in-charge of this mysterious calamity and driven him/her to make-up the truth the way it happen and how it all happen. no matter how a secret holds for long it will surely be opened under the sun
ReplyDeletein this age only a fool will believe such tale without a picture evidence

ReplyDeleteThe story is true,d pix is at www.Naijagists.com
ReplyDeleteIlliteracy is realy a sin..It was an OCTUPUS which was caught in the net of the fishermen and when kept in the cold room got frozen along with other fish. The lady took it and when it defrosted she was suprised because she didnt knwow what a baby OCTUPUS looked like. Do you think only cat fish lives in water? Bloody illiterates.
