In June 2020, 90-year-old Akua Denteh was lynched in like manner for the same reason at Kafaba in the Savanna Region

An elderly woman has died in Nalerigu in the North East Region, after she was beaten over suspicions of witchcraft.

The deceased, identified as Mma Rukaya, moved to the area from Janga, in the same region, because of similar accusations.

Speaking to Citi News on the matter, a resident of Nalerigu, Jonathan Nabila, said, “those who beat up the woman claimed she was a witch from Janga.”

“They beat her there [at Janga] then she came to Nalerigu and settled here two years ago. The youth followed up and came here to Nalierigu and beat her to death,” he added.

According to him, her assailants beat her with sticks and canes.

“After they beat her, she collapsed. She wasn’t even taken to the hospital when she passed away,” Mr. Nabila added.

The victim’s family came for the body and buried her on Sunday.

Police are yet to comment on this incident.
