Update: Widow tied, flogged by community over alleged witchcraft hospitalized (video)

The widow who was tied and flogged by her community members over alleged witchcraft activity, has been hospitalized.

Human rights activist, Harrison Gwamnishu, who brought her plight to the public domain last Sunday, August 28, shared a horrific video of the victim, Mrs Okechi, being flogged by young men in her community, Umueghu, Amaegbuato community in Nkpa Bende LGA, Abia state. The young men tied her hands before flogging her.

Harrison stated that Mrs Okechi was tortured after her late husband’s brother’s wife accused her of being a witch.

In the new video he posted, Mrs Okechi could be seen weeping while her daughter consoled her.
