The Chief Judge of Bauchi State, Rabi Umar, has raised concerns over the increasing number of witchcraft-related cases, describing the phenomenon as a complex issue within the legal system.
During a review of pending trial cases at the Jama’are Maximum Correctional Centre, Umar noted the difficulty in legally proving witchcraft allegations.
“If you are not a witch, you cannot know who is a witch. It is an issue that could hardly be established unless the witch confesses to be one,” she stated.
