Our Mother Not Witch- ‘Bird Woman’ Sons Asks For Justice
Category: Bizarre & Odd News
Two men – children of the unidentified elderly woman who was
almost lynched by a mob in the Ajegunle area of Lagos after being
accused of witchcraft – have identified the victim as their mother. And
according to them, the octogenarian was not a witch, but a victim of
nature and had been missing from home.
The elderly woman was attacked by a mob which accused her
of being a black bird that transformed into a human being. The mob also
said that while being beaten, the woman had confessed that she was a
witch, that she had flown to Ibadan, Oyo State for a meeting but got
tired on returning from Lagos and fell from the sky. Fortunately, the
woman was rescued by the police and taken to the Area B Command.
Sources at the command have now told PUNCH Metro that two
sons of the victim came to the command on Thursday after seeing their
mother’s picture in the newspapers. The source said the two men
explained that their mother had wandered off some days ago and they had
been looking for her. The men, who said they lived in the Iju Ishaga
area of the state were said to have been puzzled as to how their mother
walked all the way to Ajegunle.
A policeman at the command said:
“This morning (Thursday), two men came to the command
claiming that they were the sons of the woman. The men said their mother
was not a witch and were very angry with the manner the rumour was
spreading. They said they were shocked that youths could attack an old
woman in her 80s and they were even asking for justice because the woman
sustained bruises on her head.”
Another police source at the command said that the Area
commander, ACP Ndubueze Anene, had transferred the woman to the command
headquarters in Ikeja for further investigation. He said the sons had
also gone to the headquarters to provide evidence that the woman was
indeed their mother.
Police Public Relations Officer, Ngozi Braide, told PUNCH
Metro that the woman was not a witch and warned residents of the state
against jungle justice. When asked if the woman had been released,
Braide said:
“Yes she has been released to her son. The family said due
to her old age, she was very ill and was brought from Ibadan to Lagos
to stay with one of her sons. The woman’s daughter-in-law said she went
to buy drugs for her nearby, but by the time she returned home, the
woman had left the house.”
