Gambia News : “I Was Raped” Says Abductee
A resident (name with held) of Makunbaya who was abducted by witch
hunters in the early hours of Tuesday, on the 25th day of February
2009, at about 11:00am in Makumbaya in the Western Region of the
country, indicated that she was raped by one of her captors.
According to her, she was raped by a
young man while she was in captivity in a compound they called Baba
Jobe’s compound. The victim who was in an angry mood, said she was at
the Makumbaya village garden when she and her colleagues received a
messenger who claimed to be sent by the Alkalo, Alhagie Kujabi; that
all the Gardeners should immediately go and answer to a very important
guest from the president.
She said whilst on their way to the
Alkalo, they met with the so-called witch hunters that were accompanied
by armed personnel and young men and women in green clothes. The woman
added that after she was abducted by the group, she was told that she
was possessed by demons that “gave her their shirts without her
notice”, and that being the case, she had to go to Kololi with them in
order for her to be cured of the spell.
The distraught woman said
upon their arrival at Kololi, she was told by the witch hunters that
she should drink the concoction so that they could start her treatment.
She said her captors forced her to drink the concoction; and shortly
after drinking the liquid that night, she said she fell down and went
into a trance and did not know where she was or what was happening to
her.
She said a young man raped her while she was under detention at
Kololi; that she was raped during the second day of her detention at
Kololi. She said while in captivity, this young man would come to her
and ask her to take bath; and that while she was taking bath; the young
man would stand and look at her while she was naked. She said whenever
she planned to go to the toilet to urine or defecate; the young man
would insist that he was going to accompany her.
She lamented that it was during one of those instances that the young man wrestle her to the ground and forcefully raped her.
The
victim said after undergoing this ordeal, her daughter who is a police
at the Banjulinding Police Station came to Kololi and requested for her
release.
She said that was how she regained her freedom. She said if she sees the man who raped her, she would recognise him.
