Three orphans have revealed how their grand-mother flogged them with red hot machete after accusing them of infecting her with HIV.
The three female siblings, aged 13, 5 and 3-years respectively, whose HIV-positive grandmother branded as witches at a community in Cross River State, have revealed how she conspired with some persons to beat them with red-hot machete to coerce them to confess to witchcraft.
While speaking in a chat with Vanguard, the eldest sister said: “We
are not witches, our grandmother made us to confess what we are not. We
dropped out of school in 2016 when our mother died; we also lost our
father in 2014.
