Suspected ritualist plucks out 7-year-old boy’s eyes in Borno

A suspected ritualist has plucked out the eyes of a 7-year-old boy, Maina Bukar.

Bukar lost his two eyes after being kidnapped on Saturday, at Ngomari Kare Kili area of Borno State.

The little boy was said to be Almajiri.

Narrating the incident, Bukar’s father said the victim was asked to bring water for ablution by the suspected ritualist, and he kindly did as directed.

Bukar was again asked to escort the ritualist to a nearby village, and was taken to a bush. The assailant told the boy to wait the bush while he urinated.
