On September 15th, Ngongo Lutete was executed by firing squad.


Local legend holds that prior to his execution, Ngongo was given an amulet by a [[shaman]] from his retinue. This amulet would prevent his death, so long as he kept it on. The story goes that the European soldiers fired multiple rounds of bullets, completely exhausting their magazines, but Ngongo did not die from his wounds. Finally, the shaman told the officers about the secret amulet, which was then removed. A bullet was fired directly into Ngongo's ear, and he died instantly.
