It is believed that the spirit torments the wife usually during the birth of a child and it is expected of her to confess to her husband and Ekpri Akata (Spirit of the departed) before she can smoothly deliver a baby. If confession is not done, Ekpri Akata the spirit of the departed will either inflict her or kill her.It is also said to kill the baby while pregnancy in some parts of the ibibio culture [1][2][3][4]
