I just received a very disturbing video from a village community, and I believe this urgently requires the attention of relevant authorities, human rights organizations, community leaders, security agencies, and well-meaning Nigerians.
An elderly woman was publicly accused of witchcraft by members of her community. According to the accusations, she allegedly collected something from another woman and was blamed for causing spiritual harm and death. Without any proper investigation or legal process, the woman was dragged to an open field, surrounded by villagers, beaten, humiliated, and at some point stripped naked before the crowd.
This is deeply heartbreaking and unacceptable. No human being deserves to be treated this way based on accusations, fear, superstition, or mob judgment. Violence, public humiliation, and jungle justice cannot be accepted in any society.
I am calling on the relevant authorities, human rights bodies, traditional rulers, religious leaders, and security agencies to urgently intervene before this situation escalates further or leads to loss of life.
If anyone knows organizations, media houses, activists, or authorities that can help rescue this woman and restore peace in the community, please speak up and help amplify this message.
We must protect human dignity, uphold justice, and say NO to mob violence.
