Groups of activists known as Citizens' Solution Network and Agba Jalingo Foundation for Investigative and Accountability Journalism have mounted pressures
Groups of activists known as Citizens’ Solution Network and Agba Jalingo Foundation for Investigative and Accountability Journalism have mounted pressures on the Cross River State Police Command to arrest a ruthless gang who cut off the fingers of a woman accused of witchcraft and set her ablaze on a major road.The accused, Martina Okey Itagbor was alleged to be responsible for the ghastly car accident which claimed the life of a mother of two boys in the community via witchcraft.
In a statement issued on Friday 30th June 2023, and signed by one of the leaders, Agba Jalingo, the accused Martina Okey Itagbor should not have been executed extrajudicially by a misguided and bloodthirsty gang.The group urged the Police to realise that the gruesome murder of Mrs Itagbor is one extrajudicial killing that has become too many in parts of the state.
“We want to see that justice is served as we condemn the murder of Mrs. Martina Okey Itagbor in the strongest terms. Late Itagbor, a member of the Catholic Women Organization CWO, was said to have been burnt alive in front of the Catholic Church by the daring gang while the same CWO was meeting, alongside Itagbor’s daughter.Witnesses also alleged that the gang has been threatening the daughter.
The groups have claimed to have obtained 14 names of the irate youths who participated in the murder of Mrs. Martina Okey Itagbor, adding that the two leaders are Christopher Sunday Mbey and Festus Etim Umoh .
