An elderly man identified as Obioma Ubani and his wife have been banished for 20 years over witchcraft by a community in Obohia Amuda Isuochi in Umunneochi Local Government Area of Abia State.

Obioma in a viral video is captured being escorted out of the community by members of the Obohia Development Union.

The embattled man was accused of engaging in witchcraft and killing one Professor Chike Ubani through that means.

He was adorned with raffia palms, popularly known as Omu while carrying along with him a nylon bag.

In another scene, one of the community leaders warned the people not to assault Obioma. He was heard saying, “We have agreed that nobody will touch him, that was our decision.”

The people escorted him out of the community, singing what sounded like a dirge.
