THE discovery of lines on a man’s forehead believed to spell the Arabic name of God, Allah, is astounding some residents of Ibadan, Oyo State.
Abass Adebiyi Olore, a resident of Atagba, Boluwaji area of Sanyo, said in an interview with the Nigerian Tribune that he was a nominal Muslim who led a loose lifestyle before the said marks appeared on his head.
The development, Olore said, emerged after he carried out instructions from a certain Christian lady and a Muslim cleric to pray and fast for a number of days.
According to him, a woman who had noticed the sign after power supply had just been restored to their area on the fateful day drew his attention to it.
He said he wanted to put on the television when all of a sudden, “a woman close by me shouted that she could see a mark which resembled ‘Allah’ on my head. I did not believe it until she took a picture of it with her phone and showed it to me.”
The man, who sold diesel, described what has happened to him as remarkable and promised to change from his old ways and live for God.
Before now, phenomena such as this have only occurred in trees and animals such as snail.
