The Lagos-based daughter of the widow who was bound and tortured for two days by youths in her community has called for justice for her mother.
Recall that the widow, Mrs Amarachi Okechi, was in the news for the harrowing treatment she was put through by the youths of her community after she was accused of witchcraft by her late husband’s brother’s wife.
The accusation culminated in her being tied down by some youths in Umueghu, Amaegbuato community, Nkpa Bende LGA, Abia State, for two days flogged five strokes each all over her body by hefty men.
The video sparked outrage and the wife of the Abia State Governor announced that the widow had been rescued and taken to a hospital.
The daughter of the widow took to Facebook to react to her mother’s public humiliation and assault.
Flourish Victor explained that she had to leave Lagos for Umuahia when she heard what had been done to her mother.
She said she could not recognise her mother when she saw her after the assault and it broke her heart.
“My heart aches… I feel humiliated… I feel like I’m not alive again. I want revenge… I really want revenge,” she wrote on Facebook.
