Irate youths in the Netim area of Akamkpa Local Government Area of Cross River State burned a woman to death over alleged witchcraft on Thursday.
This was disclosed by a Lawyer named James Ibor via his Facebook page.
According to Ibor, the youths accused her of causing a fatal accident in the area, which led to the deaths of two young men.
He wrote “Madam Martina Okey Itagbor was accused of witchcraft and burnt to death by the Youths of Old Netim in Akamkpa LGA, Cross River State, Nigeria. This was after a fatal motor accident claimed the lives of two young men.
Sadly, the Police stood by while the helpless poor woman burn. The suspects are walking free.
“Witchcraft branding is a crime. The belief in witches and their power to cause harm is backward and primitive. I call on the Police to bring these suspects to Justice. No witches, No Wizards”.
A gory video making the rounds on social media shows the half naked woman being burned to death in the middle of a paved road by some youths who had gathered around.
