Advocacy for Alleged Witches (AfAW) has revealed that one Ismail Usman, who shot himself in the stomach in the process of testing a ‘bulletproof’ charm can no longer be traced.
The group made this declaration in a statement released to DAILY POST on Monday, signed by Leo Igwe, AfWA Director.
DAILY POST gathered that a man had reportedly shot himself in the process of testing a charm.
Igwe in the statement, claimed that the group planned to provide Usman with humanitarian assistance and use his case for public education and enlightenment.
He, however, revealed that the plan is on hold because the police have no information regarding his whereabouts.
He maintained that the group contacted the Commissioner of Police of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Olatunji Rilwan Disu, proposing to give Usman some humanitarian assistance.
He said the CP referred AfAW to the FCT police public relations officer, who also referred them to the Divisional Police Officer, DPO of Byazin, the division where the case was reported.
Igwe said the DPO noted that Mr Usman was not at the Gwagwalada Specialist Hospital as speculated.
He claimed that the DPO had reported that Usman was referred to the hospital but did not go there to see for himself, claiming that Usman had reportedly returned to Katsina and could no longer be contacted,
The DPO maintained that the police had no information on Usman’s current location or where to trace him.
