The National Women\u2019s Organiser of the People’s National Convention (PNC), Janet Nabala, has expressed her dissatisfaction with the handling of the case involving a 67-year-old woman who was lynched in the Upper East region.<\/p>\n

The 67-year-old widow, Yenboka Kenna, was lynched at the Pelungu market<\/strong><\/a><\/span> on Monday, May 29, 2017, after she was accused of being a witch.<\/p>\n

Three persons who were arrested in connection with the barbaric act have subsequently been released on bail by the police, who cited lack of evidence as a reason for temporarily setting them free.<\/p>\n

[contextly_sidebar id=”mVohGAwsOZUduOWaZXHfKPuqRNTzzNKE”]But Madam Nabla believes the state must give equal attention to the matter to ensure that it is not swept under the carpet considering the excuses so far from the police.<\/p>\n

“I don\u2019t think God will bless what will be a wicked country if the police don\u2019t get up and fight this menace. I think the government should do something about it and if the people who caused the death of this woman are not punished, I would think the government is doing selective justice.\u201d<\/p>\n

Madam\u00a0Nabla, also alluded to a class and gender divide that has seen the tragic murder of Captain Mawell Mahama hock and elicit sympathy and support from the country, though the murder of the widow has largely been neglected over the past week.<\/p>\n

“If the President could go to Captain Mahama\u2019s house and sympathize with his family and yet there is a woman who was killed and the President has said nothing about it, then it shows how important men are in this country, and how women are used in this country whilst nobody cares about us when we have a problem.\u201d<\/p>\n
