was confronted and beaten by a mob.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ununuma Bidemi Edward, a Facebook user, narrated the story on his page, stating that the shrine of the alleged witch doctor popularly known as Dr. Mike India was littered with pictures fastened with chains and nails on the wall, whose owners have either died or plagued with one illness or the other in real life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to him, the mob which inexplicably could not set the shrine ablaze after many attempts broke down the building in an attempt to set the victims of the accused free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He stated that victims of the accused, who were still alive but down with diverse illnesses, miraculously got freed from their afflictions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Source:
