Photos: Husband accuses woman of witchcraft, locked her in cage for three years
A Nigerian woman, simply identified as Gladys, has rescued from a cage where she spent the last three years under lock.
According to reports, the malnourished woman was locked up in a room by her husband in Orerokpe community of Delta state.
The man had accused her of engaging in witchcraft.
The woman identified as Gladys has been rescued and taken to the hospital.
Human rights activist, Harrison Gwamnishu, who shared the story, said that the woman is originally from Ozoro in Delta state but got married to a man from Orerokpe.
He said the husband and his family members, after many years of marriage, accused the lady of being a witch and threw her into a cage they built in his compound.
According to Harrison, the husband despite accusing his wife of being a witch made his way into the cage where she was left to die and was still having sex with her.
She had three of their children while she was in the cage. Harrison told LIB that his organization, Behind Bars Initiative, got wind of the woman’s deplorable state on Monday, November 16.
He and his team arrived in Orerokpe Tuesday morning November 17 and have moved the lady to the General Hospital in Orerokpe for treatment.
