Dauda* had grown up in a family that held to the traditions of the ancestors. His father was a medium and as a child, Dauda had witnessed the way the spirits tormented him. After his father died, Dauda followed in his footsteps. He learnt how to be a medium and travelled far across the country to gain “special powers” to protect himself against harm. He became so confident that he believed himself invincible. He joined a band of criminals and took part in armed robberies, confident that the powers would protect him from bullets and arrest. However, one day, in the misery of his chosen lifestyle, he heard the voice of the Lord calling him to repent and follow him. There was no option for Dauda. He responded immediately to Jesus, left the path of crime, and eventually came to theological college. He testified that he had never sought out or loved God, but God had loved him first and saved him right in the middle of his life of crime.
