The governor’s aide has allegedly become notorious for torturing perceived witches and wizards in the state.
In May, The Herald reported accusations of torture of witches levelled against the governor’s aide by a group, Advocacy for Alleged Witches (AFAW).
Neither the governor’s aide nor the Cross River State Government has responded to the latest allegation.
