A
middle-aged woman alleged to be a witch in Ughelli South local government area
of Delta (name withheld) on Friday evening confessed to using her urine to mix
the beans with which she prepared moi-moi which she sold to members of the
public as well as fed family members with.
LeadershipNG reports
that the woman, well-known in the community for her beauty and well-prepared
meals especially her moi-moi that she sold to unsuspecting members of the
public, allegedly confessed when she was almost lynched by an angry mob over
allegations by a young man in the area that she planned to kill him with her
witchcraft.
It was gathered that the young man was about taking his bath
in the bathroom when a rat almost hit him on the leg. On
seeing the rat, he picked a piece of wood and kill it, but instead of beating a
retreat, the rat allegedly increased in size, eventually turning into a human
being before disappearing, leaving two slippers behind.
The young man was said to
have gone to town with the tale, and on getting to the house of the alleged
witch, popularly called Mama T, he was said to have seen the woman surrounded
by an angry crowd who descended on her. Eyewitness said some parts
of the woman’s body were swollen, as she was made to put on a pair of slippers,
and realizing the slippers were similar to those left behind by the rat, the
young man screamed, “Madam, why are you putting
on the same slippers, and why is your body swollen?” And she replied, “I had an
accident yesterday where I sustained some injuries and lost one of my
slippers.” Suspecting the woman was the rat that turned to a human being in his
bathroom, the young man narrated his story to the crowd, while appealing to
them to allow him get the slippers that the rat left behind in his house.
By the time he returned and showed the people the single pair of slippers, it was exactly the same with the one on the woman’s foot.
This
left the angry mob with no option than to beat her to stupor, before she
confessed to litany of atrocities she had committed, while confessing that all
through the years, she had been selling moi-moi she used her urine from her
coven to prepare.
