The witch doctor recognized him as the brave warrior.
Uko, told the man he wanted to be invisible when he goes to the battle field,
This was to ensure he comes back alive to his new bride.
The native doctor after throwing the Afa,
Asked Uko to go to the Eke market and buy a pure white cock.
Uko could not find a pure white cock,
But he did find a pure white cock with a one touch of a black feather.
He plucked off the black feather and it was all white.
He took it to the dibia who used it for the special ritual.
In the battlefield, Uko became invisible.
He slayed the enemies without fear.
But then, an ene.my warrior realised a big toe was walking.
The enemy warrior targetted at him.
