Un homme foudroyé à Ouèssè

24 Heures au Bénin - Mon, 03/13/2023 - 11:57

A Kilibo, une localité de la commune de Ouèssè, un homme a été foudroyé jeudi 09 mars 2023.

La foudre s'est abattue jeudi dernier sur un homme à Kilibo, une localité de la commune de Ouèssè, dans le département des Collines. La victime d'après nos sources, a quitté le centre-ville pour se rendre dans une ferme avec sa moto. Arrivée sur les lieux, une pluie légère commence, et l'homme qui voulait entreprendre certains travaux fut foudroyé. Un fait qui a suscité maints commentaires dans la localité.
Les adeptes de la divinité ‘'Shango'' ont été sollicités pour les rituels d'usage.
