An 80-year-old man, Kwacha Manu and his son, Likita, 40,
have been paraded by Niger State Police Command for their alleged involvement
in the death of their 100-year-old mother and grandmother, Inne Kaiyo.
The incident occurred at Marke Gada Maje. Manu allegedly
killed his mother for purportedly killing Likita’s daughter, Magajiya, through
witchcraft.
Following the death of Magajiya, 17, her grandfather, Manu, who
could not bear the loss, allegedly used sticks to flog his mother to death.
Sources alleged that Inne used witchcraft to kill people in
her extended family.
Magajiya is said to be the ninth person to die in
“unnatural circumstances” in the family.
Manu, who admitted to have flogged his mother, claimed he
only flogged her on the legs, “which couldn’t have killed her.” He alleged:
“After killing my granddaughter, I could not just let her go free.
So I used a dry stick to cane her on the legs, asking her
why she killed her great grandchild, who took care of me, unlike her, who did
nothing for me.” Asked how they knew his mother was responsible for the girl’s
death, Manu said: “We knew through my late granddaughter, Magajiya, when she
was ill.
She cried and begged her great grandmother, Inne, to release
her soul. We all begged my mother to release her, but she refused. I’m aware
that my mother was a witch.”
Likita said he was not in the village when the
incident occurred.
His words: “I don’t know why the police arrested me. Besides
losing my daughter, my two other children are ill. I’ve not even seen the body
of my late child.” Police spokesman Abigail Unaeze said father and son were
nabbed for homicide and had confessed. He added that they would soon be
arraigned.
I hardly know what to say o...
If indeed she was a witch, why didn't she kill them years ago?
What witchcraft ambition was the alleged spiritual murder supposed to aid?
Why now, when she was already existing on borrowed time?
Are they all loonies?
Poverty tho...
