After listening to their confessions, Magistrate Adamu Abdulrazak directed the children and the woman who initiated them into witchcraft simply identified as Handama to restore the man’s health with dispatch.
The three self confessed child witches and the woman were brought to court by Garkuwan Sarkin Mayun Adamawa for afflicting Umar.
In their confessional statements, the children said that they initially used demonic powers to tie their father’s friend with ropes and iron as directed by the woman, but added they have since untied the victim and exorcised the evil things they implanted in him.
Speaking exclusively to NEWS PLATFORM, one of the kids, Obama Anthony who is 12 years old, confessed that he was initiated into witchcraft by Handama, saying that the woman has 6 children and all of them are witches.
Obama also accused the woman of initiating him in the night while they were living together in the same compound, saying that they normally go out for a meeting after every 3 days at a location called Dabala.
He told NEWS PLATFORM that he turns into a lizard before going out for meetings and eats roasted human flesh during the meeting, saying that he is willing to be delivered from the witchcraft.
On his part, Bitrus Anthony who is 7 years old, also accused Handama of initiating him in the devilish act, saying that he has never killed anybody, but he has been participating in their meetings and also eats human flesh.
Bitrus further disclosed that they have so far bewitched 7 people, noting that some of them are alive, while some of them are dead, saying that he turns into a white cat before attacking his victims.
Baring her mind, Grace Anthony who is 9 years old informed NEWS PLATFORM that she has been a witch for 3 years, narrating that it was her brother, Obama who initiated her, and that she has so far bewitched 8 people.
Grace further confessed that she attends meetings after every one day at Dabala, and turns into a white cow before going out, explaining that Handama has put headache, malaria fever and something into their victim.
