B-I-Z-Z-A-R-E! 70-year-old woman tortured to death over alleged witchcraft

Wickedness and Injustice!!!

A 70-year-old woman, Mrs. Rebecca Adewumi, was, yesterday, lynched by a mob in Omuo-Ekiti,  Ekiti State, over alleged witchcraft, even as the deceased family petitioned the police, asking for justice.

A daughter of the deceased, Mrs. Grace Smith, who is based in Lagos State, told

journalists in Ado-Ekiti on Thursday that her mother was stripped naked and forced to drink some concoction believed to have the potency to exorcise her.

Smith said her mother was tortured in the presence of one of the town’s chiefs on June 26.

She added that her mother was beaten, placed on woods while her head was shaved. She was later said to have been locked up in a room where she eventually died on June 30.

Smith said the deceased’s relatives, including her children were prevented from rescuing her.

The DPO in Omuo who was instructed by the commisioner of police in the state, Mr. Sotonye Wakama, to go and remove the corpse from the house, said nobody had been arrested in connection with the case because no eyewitness had come forward to accuse anybody of any wrongdoing. ???Nigeria???
