Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria, HURIWA, has tasked the Nigeria Police Force to prosecute some Cross River youths who allegedly attacked and tortured two Catholic sisters to death over witchcraft allegations.

HURIWA’s National Coordinator, Comrade Emmanuel Onwubiko, in a statement condemned the killing of the two Catholic sisters who were returning from early morning Mass and noted that jungle justice has no place in a civilized society.

Recall that two widows, Martina Osom and Rose Akon, on Saturday, were accused of witchcraft and allegedly lynched by some youths in Ebbaken community, Boje, in the Boki Local Government Area of Cross River State. The victims, devout Catholics, were reportedly returning from early morning prayers when the youths accosted them and allegedly killed them.

HURIWA said, “The lynching of the two Catholic sisters is strongly condemned. It is barbaric and a manifestation of the cruelty of the highest order. So, therefore, the police must fish out the killers and prosecute the culprits. HURIWA recommends a tough punishment for the culprits to serve as a deterrent.
