Consequences Are Tragic
However, when moral panic stops logical action from taking place, the consequences might be catastrophic. For example, in London in 2016, Kennedy Ife’s “possession” began with a sore throat and sleeping troubles. It progressed from there. The severity of Ife’s illness continued to worsen, with the man becoming increasingly angry and delusional, alleging to be in possession of a serpent. According to future court evidence from one of his brothers, he began to act aggressively as well as he had previously.

An Ineffective Treatment
Ife’s family, who are described as charismatic Christians, allegedly went on to conceal all of the kitchen knives, as well as handcuff and rope the 26-year-old suspect. Following that, the relatives have attempted a home exorcism, but their “treatment” was unsuccessful. According to accounts, Ife’s breathing became laborious, and he began to complain of being dehydrated, leading to his arrest. Even though his brother attempted to perform a ritualistic “resurrection,” the young man would sadly succumb to his injuries and die.
