A new twist has emerged in
regards to the reports making rounds online that a woman presumed to be a witch
landed mysteriously from the sky in a police barracks in Sapele area of Delta
state.
According to a police
officer, Ilechie Collins who broke the news, the woman confessed that she was
coming from Benin city in Edo state before “fire brought her down from the
sky”.
According to journalist
Sapele Olofofo, the woman lives with her husband and kids at Behind Praise
Baptist Church (Oghenetega) precisely at No 14, Anegbe Lane, Off Abeke Road,
Sapele, Delta State..
The woman is said to be an
Itsekiri from Warri North Local Government Area, Delta State who has been
battling with a mental problem for years. Her family has reportedly taken her
to different medical institutions including churches, spiritual houses and
native doctors of which all were abortive.
One of her sons said he
said they only got information in the early hours of yesterday that their
mother landed mysteriously into an apartment and that when she was been questioned
how she got there. According to her, she said she was flying from Benin from
the coven but fire fell on her feathers and she landed where she was seen.
The police were said to
have taken her to the court owing to her statement and she was equally
arraigned for being possessed by witchcraft.
In the cause of her
arraignment, the children who were informed – stormed the court and told the
presiding judge that their mother is not a witch that she is mentally
challenged.
The judge then requested that
they present her medical report, but the children according to them did not
have it, because the only thing they did all these years was to take her to
different local medical practitioners for solution because they had no money,
so such document was never given to them.
The court was said to have
adjoined her case to 27th of July, she was subsequently remanded in prison
pending another hearing.
