Mother of four accused of w!tchcraft and burnt to dǝath by youths in Cross River community (See Photos)
A Nigerian woman, Mrs. Martina Okey Itagbor, was accused of witchcraft and burnt to death by the youths of Old Netim, Akamkpa Local Government Area of Cross River State.
The deceased, who was a mother of four girls, was accused of causing the death of two men who lost their lives in a motor accident.
It was gathered that the men, alongside other youths in the community, chattered a bus to the inauguration ceremony of the member representing Akamkpa 1 State Constituency, Hon. Okon Owuna.
Sadly, they were involved in a fatal accident and two of them died on the spot, while several others suffered injuries of varying degrees.
A day after the accident, some youths stormed Martina’s house and dragged her to the main road, accusing her of masterminding the accident and death of the two youths using witchcraft.
She was then beaten to a pulp and set ablaze by the angry mobs who watched her burn to ashes in the early hours of Sunday, June 18. After watching her burn to ashes, they reportedly swept the remains into the gutter and washed the road.
A gory video of the incident is already circulating on social media, in which the half-naked woman is shown being burnt to death in the middle of the paved road.
One of the deceased’s daughters revealed that the community leader, Ntufam Augustine Nyong Orok, ‘enabled’ the heinous act and asked her mother to defend herself if she was not a witch.
They also reported the first attack to the police but they were allegedly in fear because gangsters were involved.
