Boko Haram Kills Women Over Witchcraft In Borno

According to SaharaReporters, the women were killed on Tuesday after being labelled as witches following the death of the children of a Boko Haram commander, identified as Ali Ngulde.

A military source was quoted as saying: “Boko Haram commander, Ali Ngulde slaughtered about 20 women by slitting their throats after accusing them of being witches in Borno.

“About 40 of them were abducted last week, over 10 were slaughtered in Gwoza town last Thursday and more than 10 were killed during the weekend.

“The women were all suspected of witchcraft after the sudden death of the children of the jihadist group’s commander,” the source added.
