An elderly woman has reportedly been paraded by villagers in Nkanu, Enugu State, following allegations that she was involved in the deaths of some residents through alleged charm.
According to reports making the rounds, the woman was accused by members of the community of using spiritual means to harm people in the village.
In an attempt to establish the truth behind the allegations, the elderly woman was reportedly taken to the graveside of a woman who recently died in the community.
She was said to have been made to take an oath, declaring that if she had any involvement in the deceased woman’s death, evil would befall her.
The incident has reportedly stirred reactions among residents, with the circumstances surrounding the accusations generating concern within the community.
However, the allegations against the elderly woman remain unverified, and there is no independent confirmation that she was responsible for any of the deaths attributed to her.
The development has also renewed concerns about the practice of publicly accusing or punishing individuals based on allegations of witchcraft or spiritual attacks without established evidence.
