WORLD: Tanzania Witchdoctors Arrested; The Mother of Nigerian Sextuplets Dies
February 24th, 2009Tanzania Witchdoctors Arrested
On the heels of yet another albino murder, three Tanzanian traditional healers have been arrested by authorities. When they were arrested, they were traveling in a car using a public address system to announce that they were still in business, reports the BBC, despite a government ban. Tanzania’s government banned their practice to prevent the murders of albinos, whose body parts are sometimes used in potions. The people who kill albinos sell their body parts (hair, skin, limbs and more) to the witchdoctors to make the potions that, they believe, will make people rich. Not too long ago, a 14-year-old albino girl was murdered. There have been 45 albinos murdered in the nation since 2007. In the past year, 200 people have been arrested in connection with the albino killings, reports the news service. There are an estimated 200,000 albinos in Tanzania out of a total population of 40 million people.
The Mother of Nigerian Sextuplets Dies
Just a few days after giving birth to sextuplets, Nigerian mother Ajoke Bello passed away due to complications, reports the BBC. On Thursday, Bello, 32, had a Caesarean section and gave birth to six babies, three boys and three girls. The babies, born in stable condition, were conceived naturally. Unfortunately, their mother suffered excessive bleeding after birth and passed away early Sunday morning. “It was an unfortunate incident. The doctors and nurses at the hospital put in their best to ensure that the woman lived,” said an official from the Olabisi Onabanjo University Teaching Hospital. “She was under close monitoring as the medical team did not leave any stone unturned to ensure that she was alive,” he said. Charities have been making donations for the babies and a local leader visited Bello Saturday assuring her that the government will do whatever it can to help her family, reports the BBC. Behind India, Nigeria has the second highest rate of maternal mortality, according to stats from the World Health Organization.
