Court orders Adamawa suspected witches to heal three-year-old
************
A Yola Magistrate’s Court on Monday ordered seven defendants to restore the health of a three- year - old girl whom they allegedly bewitched with a strange illness.
The Magistrate Umar Gangs- led Criminal Area Court I gave the defendants 24 hours to comply with the order.
According to reports , the matter involved a 60- year- old woman , Halima Jonta , of Dumne town , in the Song Local Government Area of Adamawa State. Also joined in the case were five kids, said to be between the ages of four and six.
The defendants were arrested and arraigned over allegations that they inflicted the victim with a life -threatening illness.
During the court sitting , Jonta said she and two other alleged witches had killed seven people in seven years since she joined the cult in Dumne town.
The defendants, who were apprehended in Dumne , confessed to have bewitched the child and accused one another and other relations as being responsible for initiating them into the cult.
They claimed that efforts by them to resolve the child ’s illness were abortive, adding that one Dudu , now at large , was the only person who could undo the spell .
The magistrate said the court would hold them responsible if the health condition of the child deteriorated.
He lamented that the affected minors had not reached the age that they could be sent to a remand home , let alone a custodial centre, and wondered how the children were initiated into the cult.

Bill Gates To Nigeria: Wait For GAVI COVID-19 Vaccines
**********
American Philanthropist, Bill Gates, has advised the Nigerian government against diverting its limited health fund into trying to pay a high price for COVID-19 vaccines.
Gates gave the advice on Tuesday night during a virtual press conference ahead of the launch of the 2021 Bill and Melinda Gates Annual Letters.
He said waiting for the GAVI vaccines would be the best thing for Nigeria, and investing proposed vaccine funds into other health-related areas would assist to deepen vaccine coverage and save lives.
Gavi is a global Vaccine Alliance that brings together public and private sectors, creating equal access to new and underused vaccines for children living in the world’s poorest countries.
Gavi is co-leading COVAX, the vaccines pillar of the Access to COVID-19 Tools (ACT) Accelerator. This involves coordinating the COVAX Facility, a global risk-sharing mechanism for pooled procurement and equitable distribution of eventual COVID-19 vaccines.
Mr Faisal Shuaib, Executive Director, National Primary Health Care Development Agency, had said Nigeria aimed to vaccinate 70 per cent of its population to stop transmission of COVID-19.
Shuaib said about 40 per cent of the population would be vaccinated against COVID-19 in 2021, the remaining 30 per cent before the end of 2022.
The Minister of Health, Dr. Osagie Ehanire, had said the Federal Government needed about N400 billion to vaccinate 70 per cent of Nigeria’s 211 million population.
“The key is that Nigeria is still eligible (for GAVI Vaccinee), and so, for a lot of those vaccines, they will come through the GAVI facility that we’ve raised money for,” Gates said................
