Cannibal sorcerer left for dead: crowd cries for vengeance
A few months ago, the small village of Kirikiri (Nigeria) was the scene of a violent attack. A man, suspected of cannibalism, found himself in the sights of an angry mob.
The villagers decided to take justice into their own hands.
Several disappearances of children and elderly people have raised eyebrows and caused panic in the village, forcing the community to find the culprit. According to rumors, a sorcerer was active in the region, “feeding on the flesh of the innocent,” reports Mali Actu.
And while several residents claim to have located the individual on the edge of a forest, wearing clothes “stained with blood” and mumbling mysterious incantations, tensions escalated. A group of villagers quickly formed, driven by anger and determined to neutralize the alleged sorcerer. What followed? A siege and a massive attack. “Despite his pleas, the villagers continued their attack, crying for vengeance for the missing and seeking to expel evil from their community,” Mali Actu reports.
Despite the intervention of local authorities to disperse the crowd, the sorcerer was abandoned at the scene of the attack and left for dead.
Fears and superstitions can sometimes lead to surreal violence.
