Abiku

Abiku is an African word derived from Yoruba: (abiku) "predestined to death", which is from (abi) "that which possesses" and (iku) "death". Abiku refers to the spirits of children who die before reaching puberty; a child who dies before twelve years of age being called an Abiku, and the spirit, or spirits, who caused the death being also called Abiku. It (marks ) its host.
Ben Okri's novel ''The Famished Road'' is based upon an abiku. Debo Kotun's novel ''Abiku'', a political satire of the Nigerian military oligarchy, is based upon an abiku. Gerald Brom's illustrated novel, ''The Plucker'', depicts a child's toys fighting against an abiku.
