A CHIADZWA man is at crossroads with his 10 sons who are accusing him of killing a person whose avenging spirit has turned their lives into a living hell.

The father-sons dispute has since spilled to Mutare Civil Courts, with the father applying for a protection order against his sons.

The parties recently appeared before Mutare magistrate, Mr Xavier Chipato, who granted Matthias Nyakuwo the protection order against his sons Pearson, Brighton, Uebert, Takudzwa, Urayayi, Albert, Bright, Believe, Livingston and Justice.

The protection order bars the 10 brothers from visiting Matthias’ homestead, harassing, assaulting, threatening and physically abusing him.

Although Mr Chipato granted the protection order, the Nyakuwo brothers spiritedly defended their actions, accusing their father of trying to use the order to stop them from addressing the issue of the avenging spirit.

They begged the court not to grant the protection order and denied ever assaulting or harassing their father.

The defendants claimed that their father murdered someone in 2010, adding that the avenging spirit is now wreaking havoc in their family.

The Nyakuwo brothers said their father has been refusing to play ball.

“We consulted a prophet at an apostolic church when a family member was sick and the spirit of the murdered villager manifested on the child demanding audience with our father.

“The spirit accused our father of being responsible for the person’s death. We tried to engage our father over the issue but he could not entertain us.

“Repeated efforts to find a lasting to this problem have been in vain and that is why our father applied for this protection order,” one of them argued.

The Nyakuwo brothers also claimed that the avenging spirit had caused the mysterious deaths of three of their family members.

“We want our father to come out clean on this issue so that we can appease this avenging spirit.

“We are witnessing mysterious deaths in the family,” they said.
