A group of stern-faced village elders, dressed in Nigerian traditional, weathered clothing, gather around a large, rough-hewn wooden table. The room is dimly lit by a single oil lamp, casting deep shadows on their concerned faces. They lean in, whispering urgently to one another, their eyes occasionally glancing towards the door as if expecting something ominous. The mood is tense and foreboding, with the weight of unspoken fears hanging in the air.
