Tia Ibrahim, the minister-designate for Ghana's North East Region, on Monday, January 27, 2025, shared a fascinating perspective on the Gambaga Witches Camp-a sanctuary for individuals accused of witchcraft.
Appearing before Parliament's Appointments Committee for vetting at Parliament House in Accra, Ibrahim delved into the camp's rich history, origins, and its dual role as a refuge and a hub of controversy.
Established as a safe haven, the Gambaga Witches Camp protects accused individuals from harm or death, offering an alternative to violent repercussions.
Ibrahim noted that, historically, accusations of witchcraft often led to brutal killings.
