A Benue man, Kamo Emmanuel has stated that parents of wealthy individuals living in cities don’t face witchcraft accusations.
On Thursday, August 6, 2026, he made this statement in response to pictures of an elderly man in the Mbagen clan in Benue State’s Buruku Local Government Area who was accused of witchcraft.
“In Tiv society, parents who have rich kids in the city are not tagged witches and wizards. Poverty is a b@stard,” he wrote, reiterating the brutal reality of poverty.
One Naomi had circulated the images, accusing the man of being responsible for the d8ath of her brother and others in the neighbourhood.
