Do you believe in ghost stories? If you do, you might love to hear what this Nigerian man has to say about an encounter with the ghost of Lord Frederick John Lugard.
A Nigerian man identified simply as Harold as taken to Twitter to share his encounter with the ghost of Lord Frederick John Lugard on Tuesday, January 1, at his residence in Akwa Ibom state.

According to the man, it is a taboo for his family members to leave the house on Christmas Day and on New Year Day. He noted that his family believes that those are the days targeted by the supernatural.
He, however, explained that he decided to leave the house on New Year Day against his family beliefs.
For purposes of clarity, the Lugard I am referring to is Frederick John Dealtry Lugard, the last Governor of Southern Nigeria Protectorate, the last Governor of Northern Nigeria Protectorate and the first Governor-General of Nigeria. Yes, that Lord Lugard. Flora Shaw’s husband.

It is a tradition in my family that, no one steps out of the house on 2 specific days – Christmas day & January 1st – unless you’re going to church. My parents believe that, those days are specially targeted by men of the underworld to strike when mortals are merrymaking.

But on 1st January, 2019, I went against my parent’s advice and headed for Lord Lugard’s residence in the company of my friend and my brother. As we embarked on the trip, I was excited and scared at the same time. I had a sense of foreboding, but I didn’t know why.

The 1st manifestation of the foreboding I had when leaving the house was when we got to Mkpat Enin (another local government). Here, we encountered a crowd of juju worshippers who barricaded the road and chanted eerie cult songs.

The man revealed that he had gone out with his brother and a friend. He narrated how they encountered strange occurrences on their way to Lord Lugard’s home. They allegedly met occult people on their way and their car got spoilt strangely.
They were dressed in different colourful, but ragged attires, and brandished cutlasses at us. I wanted to take a photo of them, but my friend asked me to put my phone away, saying it could infuriate the group. I did as told.

About 15 hard-faced boys with cutlasses surrounded our car. The boys started dancing while chanting noisily & striking their cutlasses against each other. I looked at my friend, then mouthed silently, “what do we do?”
