An unholy alliance between a family and native doctor has allegedly claimed the lives of two people in Zwall village of Toro Local Government Area of Bauchi State.
The family of Adamu Goni and a native doctor (names
withheld) agreed to administer charms on four members of
the family, including a pastor, over their alleged involvement
in witchcraft.
The family, it was learnt, had been worried over calamities
befalling its members, so it sought solutions from a native
doctor.
The startling revelations were made inside the shrine of the
native doctor, a development that almost prompted angry
youths to lynch him.
Trouble started when the native doctor administered his charms on four members of the family who were suspected to
be involved in witchcraft activities.
The purpose of the charm was to compel them to confess
their involvement or not.
It was gathered that of the four that were administered with
the charm, the spell affected two who, however, still refused
to confess their involvement in witchcraft, a situation that
subsequently led to their death.
A security source in Bauchi said two members of the family
lost their lives as a result of the charm given to them by the
native doctor.
He said: "Two members of the family including a pastor of an
ECWA Church who refused to admit to witchcraft
involvement died after the native doctor administered the
charm on them.
"Eight suspects have been arrested in connection with the
incident and are helping the police with valuable information.
"The native doctor was also arrested by a police detective who
disguised as someone needing spiritual help."
