A woman, believed to be in her 90’s, has been lynched at Kafaba in the East Gonja Municipality of the Savannah region.
Reports indicate the gruesome incident took place after a soothsayer, who was brought into the community to allegedly cast out witchcraft, mentioned the victim.
In a video fast circulating on social media, the deceased denied being a witch and appealed to the soothsayer to spare her but her plea fell on deaf ears.
