Nicole Chepchumba, a 33-year-old Kenyan mother, has opened up about nearly two decades of what she describes as relentless spiritual warfare, a struggle she says shaped every major decision in her life, from dropping out of school to eventually relocating to Europe.
Speaking exclusively to TUKO.co.ke, Chepchumba traced her difficulties back to her childhood, recounting a primary school experience that was largely uneventful before things began to unravel in secondary school.
She dropped out at Form Two, something she says she only came to understand years later as the result of witchcraft allegedly practised by a close family member, her aunt.
From Dropout to Bible College
After several years away from formal education, Chepchumba returned to school and completed her Form Four studies. She then enrolled in a discipleship training institution, driven by a desire to grow in her faith.
“It was a discipleship training school because before I even went to Europe, I was ratchet; I was Christian by name, but my actions were different. So I went to this training school to learn how to be a disciple,” she explained.
However, her time at the college was cut short. According to Chepchumba, the institution’s leadership concluded that she exhibited what they described as demonic traits and immoral behaviour, which they said were clearly visible, and she was subsequently expelled.
She had been married to a missionary who was covering her Bible school fees at the time, making the expulsion all the more painful. After leaving the college, she spent seven months at home before travelling to Germany in March 2016
Spiritual Battles Across Borders
Life in Europe brought its own set of trials. Despite her move abroad, Chepchumba says the spiritual attacks she had experienced in Kenya did not stop. She narrated a series of troubling episodes that continued to disrupt her life in Germany.
Her turning point, she says, came when she eventually returned to Kenya and discovered what she believes was the root cause of her long suffering.
She claims that witchcraft paraphernalia was unearthed from within her family’s land, and that this discovery marked the beginning of what she describes as her deliverance.
Chepchumba’s account is a deeply personal one, touching on faith, family, and the kind of spiritual experiences that many Kenyans navigate quietly. Her willingness to speak publicly about expulsion, alleged witchcraft and two decades of hardship has resonated with those who have followed her story.
