Lake Simbi Nyaima: Men of God use healing lake water to cast out evil spirits

Anyone who had gone bonkers or showed any signs of running mad, was alleged to be ‘filled with the power of the evil’. No one wanted to be associated with them, leave alone, visit their homes. For the religious ones, family members would gather and seek divine intervention or seek the services of  Men of God. 

And now, religious leaders from Homa Bay County have devised a solution to help the possessed ones. They drive the victims to Lake Simbi Nyaima in Central Karachuonyo for cleansing. The lake, it is believed, has powers to drive away evil spirits.
