A woman who confessed to be a witch was found Friday morning
inside a sealed gutter around Abalti Barracks, just before Ojuelegba in
Surulere, Lagos.
It was gathered that a passerby noticed someone stretching
out a hand from a very small hole in the 6ft deep gutter just in front of the
Barracks, calling out for help, Don Dumex reports.
The pedestrian quickly ran into the barracks to draw the
soldiers attention to what he saw. When they looked and saw it was a woman… a
welder was sent for to bring a cutter to open the iron cover and the woman was
brought out.
When asked how she found her way into the tunnel the woman
said: “My name is Amudat Jimoh, It was God that sent me here, He (God) said I
should confess my sins so that I don’t die, please I need water to drink, help
me, I don’t know I found myself here, please help me…”
The soldiers however didn’t let reporters get more details
from her.
Later, some people in the crowd said she confessed to
witchcraft saying that she went for a meeting, transformed as a bird as usual,
and a fight ensued. The soldiers prevented the mob from lynching her and
ambulance that was called to the scene, took her away.
