A middle-aged woman in Delta State, who
is being accused of witchcraft, allegedly confessed to using her urine
as one of the ingredients for “Moi – Moi” (bean cake) which she often
sold to her customers, and served her family.
The woman, popularly called “Mama T,”
hails from Ughelli South local government area of the state, and is
well known in her community for her beauty and delicious meals, which
she often sold to members of the public Leadership reports.
Her alleged confession occurred after
she was almost lynched by an angry mob after a man accused her of
plotting to kill him with witchcraft.
According to the man, while he was in
the shower one day, a rat almost hit him on his leg. He subsequently
picked up a piece of wood and hit the rat. Afterwards, the rat is said
to have doubled in size, then turned into a human being, leaving a
slipper behind before disappearing.
Alarmed, he reportedly went into town to
share his ordeal with fellow residents. Upon reaching Mama T’s home, he
discovered that she had been surrounded by an angry crowd.
According to eyewitnesses, parts of the
woman’s body were swollen, and she was wearing a slipper on one foot,
which resembled the one left in the man’s bathroom.
“Madam, why are you putting on the same slippers, and why is your body swollen?” asked the man. And she replied, “I had an accident yesterday where I sustained some injuries and lost one of my slippers.”
The man reportedly showed the crowd the
other slipper that the alleged rat-turned-woman left in his shower.
After seeing the purported evidence, the mob reportedly gave her a
severe beating.
It was while being tortured that she
allegedly confessed to various heinous acts, including using urine to
cook moi-moi as directed by her coven.
The Ghana Movie Awards
