Court Orders ‘Witches’ To Restore Health Of 3-Year-Old Girl
A magistrate court in Adamawa has compelled seven persons to cure a three-year-old girl of the strange illness they afflicted her with.
The defendants include 60-year- old Halima Jonta of Dumne town, in Song local government area of the state, and five other children between the ages of four and six were said to have admitted to bewitching the the girl with unknown ailment.
They were reportedly apprehended by the community leaders and arraigned for allegedly afflicting the victim with a life-threatening illness through witchcraft.
During trial, Jonta confessed to have killed seven people in seven years with the help of two other alleged witches since she joined the cult in Dumne town.
The defendants who admitted to have bewitched the child accused one another and other relations for initiating them into witchcraft.
The suspects claimed they tried to rid the three-year-old girl of the disease but without success.
They said only Dudu, another suspect who is now at large, can cure the girl.
Delivering a ruling, Umar Gangs, the magistrate, ordered the arrest of Dudu.
He ordered the defendants to heal the child within 24 hours, adding that the court would hold them responsible if the health condition of the child deteriorated.
