Woman in trouble for burning girl's private part with hot knife.
IN what can best be described as man’s inhumanity to man, a seven-year-old girl is presently writhing in pain as she receives medical attention at the emergency ward of the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University Teaching Hospital (ATBUTH), following severe burns around her lower body, particularly her private parts.
The development, which occurred in Magama-Gumau, Toro Local Government Area of Bauchi State, followed after she was reportedly brutalised by her brother’s wife, identified as Suwaira Ibrahim, who allegedly burnt her private part with a hot knife.
Reports from the area indicated that the little girl was accused of being a witch by the brother’s wife through a process yet to be explained.
A resident and activist in the area, Kabiru Mohammed Abdulkadir, narrated that: “Zuwaira’s child told her that she saw the victim, Habiba (not real name), amongst a group of witches and was taken to a man to confirm whether she really belongs to a witchcraft group.
“The man told them that she is not a witch, but Zuwaira disagreed with the confirmation. They returned home from where they went and she heated a knife on fire to burn her private part, believing that if she’s a real witch, she won’t feel pain.
“It was her loud cries that disturbed the neighbours and when we got there, we saw the situation and insisted that the case be reported to police.”
In a video clip obtained by our correspondent, the little girl’s private parts and laps were burnt and had progressed to rot.
The activist added that it was the bad odour from the wound that disturbed the whole household while she found it difficult to defecate and pass urine.
