Shock as Severed Head of Young Girl Allegedly Found in Calabash at Popular Amala Spot in Nigeria

 

A Nigerian lady has raised alarm on social media after making a horrifying revelation: a severed head of a young girl was allegedly discovered inside a calabash at a local amala joint she had frequented multiple times.

Taking to X (formerly Twitter), the user identified as @mittsznn recounted the chilling incident, explaining that the gruesome discovery was made by excavators working in the area. The same location, she said, was a food spot where she had eaten at least 20 times, completely unaware of any sinister activities taking place there.

“So the place I normally get amala, excavators found a young girl’s head inside a calabash there. I just dey ask for mercy since I hear am because I don chop there reach 20 times😭😭🤲🏾😭,” she wrote in disbelief.

 

The post further revealed that she had received warnings in the past to avoid the eatery, but ignored the advice because of convenience.

“And them tell me oh… make I no dey chop there. It’s not even like her food is sweet smh😭,” she added.

 

Public Reactions: Fear, Shock, and Calls for Caution

Her post quickly went viral, sparking widespread fear and revulsion. Many Nigerians flooded the comment section with their own warnings, experiences, and concerns particularly regarding spiritual practices allegedly linked to local food vendors.

Here are a few reactions from users:

• @Za_rkay: “You see all those local swallow sellers—most of them are not ordinary.”

• @dammy_jegz: “Why always this amala? Same thing happened with one woman wey wan finish my money back then for Lagos😭💔. And the funny thing be say the food isn’t even all that.”

• @Gozie_crypt: “80% of Yoruba women cooking or running restaurants use serious juju in their stew. If the pot is big and deep, be mindful of what you eat.”

• @EAdenireti: “Abeg oh, mention the place or describe it. Make it no be say I don chop for there. I fit burst cry 😭😭. Shey na Lagos the place dey?”

Growing Fears Over Food Safety and Occult Practices

The alleged discovery has rekindled conversations about ritualism in food businesses and the importance of food safety and spiritual discernment when eating out, especially in informal settings. Though the claim remains unverified by authorities as of the time of reporting, many Nigerians are calling for law enforcement to investigate such locations thoroughly.

Meanwhile, social commentators are urging people to be cautious about where they buy food, especially from roadside vendors or obscure joints with little to no regulation.
