“According to the narration by the accused (Umar), the victim, Hafsat Bala invaded his residence in the Rafin Albasa area of Bauchi and walked around the premises.

“He asked her what brought her into his compound and  in response, the girl told him that she was sent by her eldest sister to come and kill him. The accused tried to send her away from his compound, but the victim resisted, claiming that she was asked to bury some charms at the corner of the house.

“The suspect further asked the victim to remove what she claimed to have buried in his compound but she refused. The suspect became furious at this point and poured her kerosene and set her ablaze in his compound, claiming she was a witch,” the statement read in part.

Wakil said a discreet investigation has been instituted to unravel the exact circumstances that led to the situation.
