Suspected Witch Evicted From Yambio Residential Area
A woman has been evicted from Hai Bakindo residential area in Yambio after the area residents suspected that she has been bewitching residents. 16 May 2013 By Joseph Nashion YAMBIO, 15 May 2013 [Gurtong] – A victim identified as Linda Silvano said she was preparing her groundnuts and as she was coming out of the kitchen, the suspect hit her hand and she immediately fell sick. Ms. Silvano says that it is after she had fainted that the suspect came and poured water on her speaking in gibberish language which enabled her to open her eyes. However, Mr. Simon Gerdino, the youth chairperson in the area said as they saw the situation was worsening and the woman was suffering they took the suspect to the house of the chief for further investigation then the suspect asked the case not to be referred to the police but rather be handled peacefully as she promised that she will heal the victim. The suspect was brought back until she healed the victim then all the citizen decided that they want her to be removed from the area because if she is not removed she will harm and kill many people. Residents say it is not the first time because she had done the same to another man who later died in February. Simon Andrea Kubaya, the area chief appreciated the efforts done by the youth to maintain the security of the area and as they handled the suspect until they took her to the police station. He urged youth to be vigilant so that security is maintained in the area.
