A child in Magama Gumau, in Toro Local Government Area of Bauchi State, has been thrown into severe pain after she was reportedly brutalized by her brother’s wife, identified as Suwaira Ibrahim, who allegedly burnt her private part with a hot knife. Our correspondent gathered that the little girl, about seven years old, was accused of being a witch. According to a resident and an activist in the area, Kabiru Mohammed Abdulkadir, “Suwaira’s child told her that she saw the affected child, Habiba (not real name), among a group of witches and was taken to a man to confirm whether she really belonged to a witchcraft group.”
