A video circulating on social media reveals a horrible incident whereby a 90-year-old woman is been lynched to death.

The northern part of Ghana has been described as the current witchcraft zone whereby many women have been accused of being witches and are mobbed as such.

These people who always accused these old women are oblivious over the fact that these old women have attained their menopausal age so certain actions may have been changed.

Exactly like any other lady, this 90-year-old woman was accused of witchcraft and was subsequently murdered in her village.
