How The Truth Was Finally Revealed…
According to reports, the clothing found a resting place at the front of the house of a man simply identified as Alhaji Babangida Usman. He later disclosed to Premium Times reporters that the white clothing was in no way a miraculous garment which descended from the sky.
The clothing belonged to an event planner and a decorator identified as Agnes Fadoju. She narrated that the white piece of cloth was blown away by wind. She also added that all efforts to convince those who took the cloth that it was hers proved futile.
She also revealed that the inscription was her brand name “Hosanna Ventures.”
Conclusively, this should serve as a lesson to the members of our society who do not wait for confirmation before involving themselves in mysterious events.
