An unholy alliance between a family and a native
doctor has allegedly claimed the lives of two
people in Zwall village of Toro Local Government
Area of Bauchi State.
The family of Adamu Goni and a native doctor
(names withheld) agreed to administer charms on
four members of the family, including a pastor,
over their alleged involvement in witchcraft.
The family, it was learnt, had been worried over
calamities befalling its members, so it sought
solutions from a native doctor.
The startling revelations were made inside the
shrine of the native doctor, a development that
almost prompted angry youths to lynch him.
Trouble started when the native doctor
administered his charms on four members of the
family who were suspected to be involved in
witchcraft activities.
The purpose of the charm was to compel them to
confess their involvement or not.
It was gathered that of the four that were
administered with the charm, the spell affected
two who, however, still refused to confess their
involvement in witchcraft, a situation that
subsequently led to their death.
A security source in Bauchi said two members of
the family lost their lives as a result of the charm
given to them by the native doctor.
He said: “Two members of the family including a
pastor of an ECWA Church who refused to admit
to witchcraft involvement died after the native
doctor administered the charm on them.
“Eight suspects have been arrested in connection
with the incident and are helping the police with
valuable information.
“The native doctor was also arrested by a police
detective who disguised as someone needing
spiritual help.”
