A
65-year-old woman in Isa Local Government Area of Sokoto State was on Wednesday
reportedly flogged with twelve strokes as punishment for allegedly practicing
witchcraft.
Daily Sun reports that the victim,
Zainab Labbo, was flogged at the palace of the District Head, Alhaji Nasiru
Malami Ahmed, after her daughter-in-law accused her of witchcraft.
It was gathered that the victim’s
daughter-in-law had told the traditional ruler last year that she was aiding
her son (name withheld) through diabolical means to mal-treat her.
The residents revealed that the
palace authorities summarily tried the accused and found her guilty of the
allegation leveled against her.
The aged woman denied the allegation
before journalists, who were there to investigate the incident.
She also confirmed that twelve
strokes were administered on her by the palace guards on the order of the
District Head.
