At least a dozen persons, mostly women
who were alleged to be witches and
wizards, were set ablaze at the instance of
an adviser to the state governor who hails
from that area.

A group, Advocacy for Alleged Witches, has
called for the arrest and prosecution of Thomas
Obi Tawo (AKA General Iron), an adviser to the
Cross River State Governor, for allegedly
masterminding the lynching of some suspected
witches and wizards in the state.

The group disclosed this in a statement on
Wednesday by its Chief Executive Officer, Leo
Igwe.

It urged the state government to take
measures to stop jungle justice where
suspected witches and wizards are set ablaze.

The statement read "The attention of AFAW has
been drawn to an incident of witch persecution
in Cross River State. In this case, a local mob
lynched the alleged witches. Some of the
victims have died while others are in the
hospital nursing their wounds.

"The unfortunate incident took place in Boki
LGA in Central Cross River State. At least a
dozen persons, mostly women who were
alleged to be witches and wizards, were set
ablaze at the instance of an adviser to the
state governor who hails from that area. This
adviser has been identified as Thomas Obi
Tawo (aka General Iron). This incident
happened on Tuesday, May 19, 2020."
The group stated that the allegations of
witchcraft, including persecution and killing of
children, are widespread in the state.

It said perpetrators of jungle justice operate
with impunity in the area.
