A
woman, Fati Mohammed, on Friday appeared before a Minna Magistrates’ Court,
charged with calling her former mother-in-law, Fati Aliyu, a witch.
The accused was arraigned in court following a
direct criminal complaint filed by Ms. Aliyu.
Ms. Aliyu alleged that Ms. Mohammed called her
a witch after demanding that she return the five-year-old child she had for her
former husband to her.
According to the boy’s grandmother, the child
had been on vacation with his mother.
But when she requested her to return him after
the holiday, the mother called her a witch.
She prayed the court to order the accused to
pay her N2 million in damages for defamation as well as order her to return her
grandson who was put under her care.
The accused, however, denied the charge
preferred against her by the complainant.
The presiding judge, Hassan Mohammed, advised
the parties to give peace a chance and settle their differences amicably.
Mr. Hassan adjourned
the case till August 31 for further mention.
