Woman, 25, Nearly Lost Finger After Wearing Promise Ring

A 25-year-old woman, Evelyn Detordzi, nearly lost her finger after wearing a ‘promise ring’ her fiancé gave her at Sehwi Benumsuo in the Bodi District of the Western North Region.

“I don’t think he had any evil intention or invoked anything before giving me the ring because we were going to get married soon,” she said.

She said her pastor warned her not to wear the ring until prayers and fasting are performed.

However, she disobeyed and wore the ring but couldn’t sleep throughout the night as she was in severe pain, only to wake up with a swollen index finger.

In addition, she said, she cannot understand why the ring was outgrowing into her flesh and bones with the skin almost gone.

Meanwhile, all efforts to remove the ring with soap proved futile despite help from a pastor who prayed and applied a cream on the finger.

She added that she was able to succeed in removing the ring at the hospital.
