The victim had reportedly been locked inside her late husband’s ambulance for over two hours and later forced to drink the water used to bathe his corpse—a supposed “traditional test” of innocence.

Authorities confirmed that the woman is now safe, though details about the punishment for those involved in the act remain unclear at the time of filing this report.

Meanwhile, many have commended the swift intervention of the state government, describing it as a step toward ending barbaric widowhood practices still being enforced in some communities across Nigeria.
