These Young Men Will Not Enjoy Long Life For Brutally Assaulting Two Old Women Said To Be Witches (Videos)

Call for Justice as 98-Years-Old Women Brutally Tortured Dragged on the ground in Isoko Community, Relatives Accused Her of Witchcraft

98 years old Mrs Margret Okple is still in shock, pains and undergoing medical treatment after a brutal beating by her relatives, who accused her of being a witch.

The daughter, Mrs Alice Jete, who called On Human Rights organizations and the Nigerian Police to bring the perpetrators to face the law noted that the sad incident happened on the 19th of March, 2021 at Otor-Iyede, Isoko South LGA, Delta State.

The daughter said her mother is not a witch, she was falsely accused, severely beaten with logs and dragged on the ground into a room to be burnt to death.

This should not be tolerated, this [so-called] witch-craft issue is ridiculous and primitive,” said Alice,

The 98 years old woman, Mrs Margret Okpole was beaten by a relative named Wada Okpole in the company of other members of his gangs

Sunday Pada, Jerry Okpole, Emonana Okpole,
Egbe Aluya, Oghenemaro, and others, all from Isoko, Otor-Iyede.

"The matter was reported, at the Otor-Oweh Police Station on the 20th of April, 2021 but some community leader protected those youths from being arrested as they promised to consult their local Oracle which letter confirmed that the accused 98 years old woman was innocent".

Every effort to speak with Wada Okpole and members of the community proved abortive at press time, a video evidence was used to corroborate the story.

The Daughter has however appealed to The Delta State Commissioner of Police,
CP Ari Muhammed Ali and Humans Rights organisations to bring the perpetrators to face the law.

It is painful that superstitions have resulted in the victimisation of innocent elderly in a society where the extremely poor are often singled out as witches rather than being cared for.

Like I told a friend, when you aren't doing well in life everyone around you becomes a suspect (witch) especially the old and scrawny looking ones, your appearance is what determines if you are a witch or not.

sad to see that this is coming from my mom's home town
