According to her, the two other women were able to flee from the community to avoid any attacks.

Madam Meri, disclosed that she was at home when some residents came and accused her of being a witch of which she denied but that did not stop the residents from attacking her with cutlasses and other dangerous objects.

She said her house was ransacked and properties destroyed by the residents.

It will be recalled that madam Akua Denteh, a 90 year old woman was gruesome lynched at Kafaba in the East Gonja municipality of the Savannah region.

The Parliament of Ghana is working on a witchcraft bill to help people accused of witchcraft.

The proposed Witchcraft Bill include the prohibition or professional witchcraft or wizardry, prohibition against the accusation of witchcraft, participation in the declaration of a person as a witch or wizard and penalty against chief or headman encouraging witchcraft.

This bill has been necessitated due to the gruesome lynching of madam Akua Denteh, a 90 year old woman at Kafaba in the East Gonja municipality of the Savannah region.
