Faustina, a local of Kasoa in the Central Region, nearly lost her finger after donning a wedding ring she borrowed from a friend.
All attempts, including the use of various tools in an effort to free her finger from the grip of the strange ring, proved fruitless as her finger grew swollen and extended to the entire hand.
The married woman had lost the wedding ring her husband had put on her finger, according to a report by UTV. She had a funeral to attend, though, and knew that familiar faces, including prominent church members, would be there.
As a result, she made the decision to purchase another ring rather than risk raising too many questions and arousing suspicions.
She agreed to buy one from Faustina’s friend, who is rumored to deal in the sale of wedding supplies. After wearing the ring for a day, she was unable to take it off, and it continued to eat into her skin.

She was taken to a health center after all attempts to help her failed, but neither the medical staff nor a mortuary attendant who was eventually called could assist. Before using a plier to remove the strange ring from Faustina’s finger, a pastor was invited to offer prayers over the swollen hand.
The nurses have dressed the painful wound on her hand and asked her to come in every day for proper care in order to prevent any infection at all.
Faustina’s friend, who sold her the ‘magical’ ring, mysteriously vanished into thin air, according to a UTV reporter, and all efforts to locate her failed.
