A middle-aged woman alleged to be a witch in Ughelli South local
government area of Delta (name withheld) on Friday evening confessed to
have been using her urine to mix the beans with which she prepared
moi-moi which she sold to members of the public as well as fed family
members with.
Reports said the woman, well-known in the community for her beauty and
well-prepared meals especially her moi-moi that she sold to unsuspecting
members of the public, allegedly confessed when she was almost lynched
by angry mobs over allegation by a young man in the area that she
planned to kill him with her witchcraft.
It was gathered that the young man was about taking his bath in the
bathroom when a rat almost hit him on the leg. On seeing the rat, he
picked a piece of wood and hill it, but instead of beating a retreat,
the rat allegedly increased in size, eventually turning into a human
being before disappearing, leaving two slippers behind.
The young man was said to have went to town with the tale, and on
getting to the house of the alleged witch, popularly called MamaT, he
was said to have seen the woman surrounded by a angry crowd who
descended on her.
Eyewitness said some parts of the woman’s body were swollen, as she was
made to put on a pair of slippers, and realizing the slippers were
similar to those left behind by the rat, the young man screamed, “Madam,
why are you putting on the same slippers, and why is your body
swollen?” And she replied, “I had an accident yesterday where I
sustained some injuries and lost one of my slippers.”
Suspecting the woman was the rat that turned to a human being in his
bathroom, the young man narated his story to the crowd, while appealing
to them to allow him get the slippers that the rat left behind in his
house.
By the time he returned and showed the people the single pair of
slippers, it was exactly the same with the one on the woman’s foot.
This left the angry mob with no option than to beat her to stupor,
before she confessed to litany of atrocities she had committed, while
confessing that all through the years, she had been selling moi-moi she
used her urine from her coven to prepare.
