One of the 17 women who was subjected to severe torture by the spiritualist at Kafaba, Hajia Felina, for allegedly being a witch, has narrated her ordeal.
Hawa Yakubu, 69, was admitted at the Salaga Government Hospital on Friday after she was tortured on suspicion of being a witch.
According to her, she was accused of being behind the sickness of one of her siblings, a claim she denied.
She explained that she was picked up from her house on Wednesday and subjected to torture.
A large crowd accompanied the spiritualist, she narrated, to whisk her away from her house.
Madam Hawa said she was tortured and nearly lost her life.
