She said Bulli, who is her in-law sought refuge at a family house in Casamance.
She said she went to Casamance where she pleaded with the family to allow her to come home with Bulli and when they arrived, they were escorted to Sintet by the villagers of Darsilami at 1:00am.

“After that experience my in-law continued to live in fear so much so that whenever an object moved around him, he would ask whether the witch hunters are coming,” she said.
