According to the report, Habiba’s body started rotting on June 11, 2020. She also started suffering seizures hours after the rape incident.
Then she became unwell and her health continued to deteriorate, causing people to suggest that she had been raped for rituals.
Reports said that rashes appeared on Habiba’s skin and her skin started peeling last week.
She died last Saturday, August 29, while she was being transferred to a more advanced hospital where she was expected to get better care.
