The kids, who also confessed in court, said Halima and the other woman now at large asked them to tie the three-year-old and put a stone in her stomach, adding that the soul of a dead person was planted in the little girl.

‘With the soul of the dead in her, she can’t live a normal life,” they asserted.

The kids said they had untied her and removed the stone in her, but the death image in her remained because removing it was beyond their power and only Dudu who is on the run can remove it because she planted it.
