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 hit 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 gone 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 an 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.
