Wickedness - Alleged Witches Burned to Death in Cross River state

  Two elderly men were burnt to death by an angry mob in Akwa Ikot Effanga in Akpabuyo LGA of Cross Rivers state on Sunday, July 3.


According to Leo Igwe, who published the post on Facebook, the men identified as Chief Bassey Effiom Ngwe and Mr Asuquo Effing Etim were lynched by a mob after a native doctor accused them of being responsible for the deaths of several young people in the village.

"The native doctor is currently in police custody but according to my local contact person none of those who killed the alleged witches had been arrested. There are concerns that the matter may eventually die, that the 'native doctors' could be released any moment from now and nobody would be brought to justice! 


Another Update states:  Last night, some hoodlums suspected to be part of the lynch mob attacked and looted the home of one of the alleged witches because the son is helping the police with the investigation and arrests. The young man is now living in fear for his life."

In a later update on July 7, Mr Igwe, who worked at International Humanist and Ethical Union called on the Assistant Commissioner of Police to investigate the matter and arrest those involved in the murder of the men.
