Seriously? In this age and time?

Like someone already said,how come its only kids and helpless old women that are accused of witchcraft? And why does it always have to be in villages?

Does it mean witches don't live\operate in cities? How about wizards? Why don't we hear that a man was beaten to death for wizardry? or is it only women that are into the dark art in Nigeria?

Its really a pity,i shake my head for the ignorance of so many people in this country,even the ones who claim to be educated.

Just how did they confirm that she was a witch?if she really is one sef,by what we hear about witches,those people that killed her should be ready because she's coming back for them,nonsense people.angry

@OP

What an unbelieveably retrogressive set of barbarians!!! angry
It's bad enough they mercilessly beat up the frail old woman... But forcing her to orally take in those harsh chemical drugs, and beating up her daughter and niece?

I swear, everyone in that community needs to be arrested! angry

Some people turn overnight SUPERMEN when it comes to attacking the weak and defensless,but when the real known killer comes calling they will be postrating or go running off and begging. Why not perform deliverance on her? the height of cowardice!

We really need to study psychology.
Most of you are stupidly blind to reality.
We just jump into hypothetical conclusions without proper investigations.
Those people who perpetrated the act must be brought to justice.
Have we ever stopped to consider if the poor woman were to be your own mother?
Why then did the children file a report.

I hate religious bigots.

A 70-year-old woman, Mrs Rebecca Adewumi, has been reported killed by a gang of youths in Omuo-Ekiti, Ekiti East Local Government Area of the Ekiti State. She was accused of having a hand in the protracted ailment of her 33-year-old stepson, Ola.

A daughter of the slain woman, Mrs. Grace Smith, said she left Lagos to attend to her mother when Ola took ill.

She said the man was taken to a church in Omuo-Oke for spiritual healing.

Mrs Smith explained that she saw Ola on May 9 at the church and gave him some money and prayed for his quick recovery.

The woman said she had not left the church when Ola’s mother accused Madam Rebecca of causing Ola’s illness.

Ola’s mother allegedly said her last child, Feranmi, dreamt about the late woman’s complicity in Ola’s illness.

The most annoying thing about the stup1d lot of you that come here using the bible as a defense for your f00lishness\ignorance is that,you can't even construct a sentence in simple basic and unadulterated english,yet you want to rub shoulders with intelligent\learned people.

tunnytox: That's why I always say that we need a lot of reorientation in Nigeria, judging by comment from someone like Khadaffi and few others on this forum it is obvious that many Nigerians have this mindset. They'll use Bible verses that suit them like: "suffer not a witch ti live", " bring all tithes to my house" , "touch not my annointed" etc as much as it suit them. But if you mention verses in the Bible that commands women never to lead in the church, prohibit Jews not not eat pork, offering of sacrifices, unclean women during menstration, etc, they'll say "old things have passed away" SMH
When the judgement of God shall descend on these hypocrites their weeping shall have no end.
What do you expect in Nigerian Christendom when MOG are celebrated for slapping witches? Hypocrites!

U nack the wall. Don't mind dem jare. See bellow pic whom they are grin

Absolutely.

If anyone knows how to get in touch with the lawyer employed by this family, please let me know.
I would be more than willing to make a small financial contribution, not only to ensure that justice is done in this instance, but also with a view to increasing awareness about the damage such acts of inhumanity inflict on our collective psyche.

Again shut your ignorant smelly gutter of a mouth.

Its really annoying that someone can be this stup1d,what do you know about me and my village?do you know if i'm in my hometown now?why display so much f00lishness in a public place?

Assuming the said woman is really a witch,why kill her because someone said he dreamt she was the cause of an illness?omg how does that even sound to you?is it reasonable?do you have anything in your brain box?i mean even if its sawdust or sand sef,is there anything inside your skull at all?

Kai i wish there is a witch i can contact to help me locate you,you need brain transplant,a goat's brain will be better than having none at all,person.angry

HERE IS VANGUARD'S VERSION OF THE STORY.


"How she was tortured in Ekiti palace, by daughter
ADO-EKITI—A 70-year-old woman, Mrs. Rebecca Adewumi, was, yesterday, lynched by a mob in Omuo-Ekiti, Ekiti State, overalleged witchcraft, even as the deceased family petitioned the police, asking for justice.
Narrating the ordeal her mother passed through to newsmen in Ado-Ekiti, the first daughter of the deceased, Mrs. Grace Smith, said her mother was invited to the palace of Olomuo, ObaNoah Omonigbehin, some time last May on allegation that she used her witchcraft power to harm her step-son,one Ola.
“On getting to Olomuo’s palace, the family was askedto come the following day at 6a.m. and on the said day, the palace was full to the brim. She was then asked to UnCloth to the pants, after which a series of questions were asked. My mother was then given a concoction (Oboleave)said to make witches confess and die. My dear mother was told that she would die within seven days if she was involved in Ola’s matter.
Woman forced to drink concoction
“Nine days passed and nothing happened and I left for my base in Lagos. Three weeks after, June 26, some youths in the town went to our house and brought out my mother and forced her to drink a poisonous item. Theythen took her outside into the rain where she was beaten and subjected to serious torture. When she was almost dying they took her back into her room and laid her on the bed. She diedon June 30.
”While she was being beaten, some youths went tothe house of her younger sister, Mrs Anike Orojo, whowas also beaten for daring to cater for her.”
Corpse missing
Grace said of the family members knew the whereabout of the corpse of her late mother.
Commenting on the incident, the state Commissioner of Police, Mr. Sotonye Wakama, said the police got report about the incident and the petition by the family.
The police boss narrated how the state Attorney- General and Commissioner for Justice, Mr. Dayo Akinlaja, contacted him aboutthe issue on the said day. He said nobody had been arrested because no eyewitness to the alleged crime had come forward to identify any suspect.
Wakama said police could notrely on the names listed by the lawyers in their petition because they were not at the scene of the alleged crime.
Wakama said the command would send an ambulance to Omuo-Ekiti to bring the corpse for autopsy at a government hospital in Ado-Ekiti.The police boss said a member of the deceased’s family, who was reportedly an eyewitness, had agreed to come forward and identify the suspects. Hepromised that justice would be done in the matter.
When contacted on phone, Oba Omonigbehin asked reporters to come over to Omuo-Ekiti along with the persons who said they were witnesses to the incident.
Meanwhile, the family’s lawyer, Mr. Dele Omotoso, in a petition dated July 5, to the police, claimed that Mrs. Adewumi was subjected to trial by ordeal. He urged the police to investigate the circumstances leading to her death".
