Human rights activist, Harrison Gwamnishu has shared new photos, video of the widow, Amarachi Okechi who was tied and beaten over alleged witchcraft, which the community claimed the death of her husband.
The activist on Friday, posted a video of the transformed woman on his Instagram, saying that he had taken her to his house in Asaba, Delta state after she refused to return to the community to avoid her accusers.
“The widow they called a witch, tied and beaten. What more can I say than thank you God for using this platform for humanity. After Mrs. Amarachi left the hospital, she couldn’t go back to her community because of her abusers and she was also traumatised.
“I instructed them to bring her to my house in Asaba, Delta State. She needed to heal from her past and I offered to be her son and took the burden. I will continue to support and use my platform to protect vulnerable widows and I urge everyone to do the same,” he posted.
Recall that Okechi was beaten by some residents of Umueghu in Amaegbuato autonomous community in the Nkpa Bende local government area of Abia state who alleged that she was a witch.
