Confusion in Ondo community as bird with cipher ring falls from sky

A large bird, identified as an eagle, fell from the sky in Badore, in Iju Odo, Okitipupa Local Government Area of Ondo State, causing confusion.

Residents in the area were alarmed by the incident, which they described as strange because the bird had a cipher ring on one of its legs.

The cipher ring’s inscription was written in a Chinese-like script, with a white and black-plumed bird.

While some residents thought it was a Yoruba spiritual bird known as “Awodi” or “Udi,” which could be a witchcraft bird, others thought it had likely moved from another country.

Following a futile attempt to read the inscriptions, a local, Mr. Ojuola Emi, claimed that most Chinese people prefer to put signs and names on their pets, and that the bird could have escaped from its country or owner to Iju Odo.

Mrs. Taiwo Orimisan, on the other hand, believed it was a spiritual bird whose activity had been interrupted, causing it to mysteriously fall from the sky.
