A woman in Ghana has been arrested for torturing her seven year old nephew to force a confession of witchcraft out of him.
44 year old Gloria Frimpong was arrested by police in Odorkor this week after her seven year old nephew told their landlord how his aunt had burnt him with a hot iron and forced him to eat a mixture of urine and faeces.
The landlord, Bukari Alidu spotted the boy on Wednesday with burns on his face, hands and ribs. When he asked the boy if he had fallen into a fire the boy replied that his aunt had burned him with a piece of hot metal and she also jammed piss and shit down his throat.
The boy explained to Alidu that his aunt and her pastor had accused him of being a wizard and blamed him for making his grandmother ill by using black magic. The aunt and pastor then tortured the boy to extract a confession from him.
Alidu reported the boy’s statement to the police, the boy was taken to hospital for urgent treatment of his injuries and his aunt was arrested. Frimpong is refusing to name the pastor.
The boy’s deaf and dumb sibling has also given evidence against Frimpong.
