A
taxi
driver
has
come
forward
with
a
chilling
account
of
how
a
pregnant
woman
was
buried
alive
in
Osino
Heman
by
galamsayers.
The
driver,
who
chose
to
remain
anonymous,
shared
his
disturbing
experience
during
a
call
to
Adom
FM’s
Dwaso
Nsem
programme.
According
to
the
driver,
the
horrifying
event
took
place
four
years
ago
when
he
was
hired
by
three
armed
miners
and
a
fetish
priest.
The
men
led
him
to
a
remote
site
in
Osino
Heman,
where
he
witnessed
the
unimaginable.
“They
picked
up
a
Mallam
from
Sehwi
Akontombra,
and
we
drove
to
Osino
Heman.
When
we
got
there,
they
already
had
a
pregnant
woman
they
had
planned
to
bury
alive,”-
He
revealed.
What
made
the
situation
even
more
heartbreaking
was
the
woman’s
plea
for
water
before
the
ritual
began.
However,
her
cries
were
ignored
by
the
Mallam,
who
insisted
that
giving
her
water
would
ruin
the
ritual
and
stop
them
from
finding
more
gold.
“She
begged
for
water,
but
the
Mallam
said
no.
Then,
right
in
front
of
me,
they
buried
her
alive.
It
was
terrifying,”
–
The
driver
recounted.
He
added
that
the
entire
act
took
less
than
10
minutes,
and
the
men
pointed
guns
at
him
to
keep
him
from
fleeing.
Shaken
and
horrified,
the
driver
claims
he
immediately
reported
the
incident
to
the
Osino
police,
but
to
his
dismay,
the
officer
dismissed
his
story
and
warned
him
to
stay
silent.
For
four
years,
the
driver
says
he
has
carried
the
heavy
burden
of
this
gruesome
memory.
