Police arrested fourteen people who attacked an elderly man they called a witch. The 70-year-old victim lives near Nalerigu in the North East Region. Community members blamed him for two recent deaths in their area. They burned down his house and damaged his property during the attack. The man escaped without getting hurt but feels very scared.
The group's leader was Kwabena Kwayamic, who serves as the local regent. He told others to destroy the old man's home. Police caught all the attackers on June 19 through a planned operation. Officers found dangerous weapons with one suspect named Foariton Jatika. They took away a homemade gun, another firearm, and several bullets.
