Shock and disbelief were the visible handwriting boldly written on the faces of the indigenes of a small community in Oshimili North local government area of Delta State Nigeria where an elderly woman said to be in her 60s openly confessed that she was indeed not just a witch but a senior one at that, the woman's confessions which shook the entire community occured at about 9am in the morning shortly after she returned from the Sunday morning mass where she also received the holy communion just like any other practicing Catholic.
Commenting on the incident, a respected elder in the community revealed that trouble started after the woman's daughter whose husband died under mysterious circumstances raised an alarm that she "The mother" was responsible for her husband's death, the elder who pleaded not to be mentioned due to the sensitive nature of the incident further stated that the woman's daughter whose late husband's family house was just few metres away, openly accused her mum with strong and convincing evidence that she donated her late husband to her coven where he was eaten to death.
While responding to the accusation, the woman who was still with her rosary first rejected the accusation describing it as highly ridiculous, the woman whom many in the community respect for her deep religious values threatened to strip herself naked and lay curses on her daughter for attempting to drag her good name in the mud but according to an eyewitness, the adamant widow who insisted on her claims asked the elders to order her mum to drink the water from the village stream which many in the community dreads so much due to it's capacity to destroy within a short period of time.
It was however gathered that immediately the young man who was sent to get the stream water returned, the woman who was said to be crying all through was then asked all by the most senior elder to swear that she knew nothing about her son-in-law's death and when she was done, she was then instructed to drink the stream water and in less than 10minutes of drinking the water, the woman who until that incident was a front line member of her society in the church suddenly began to manifest and confess that she was indeed behind her son-in-law's death, she confessed that she killed him because she never liked him as a choice of husband for her daughter.
