Sudan arrests a woman who claimed to be a prophet
The Sudanese police arrested a woman claiming to be a prophet in the countryside of Abu Quta in the Sudanese state of Al-Jazeera. Al-Mutanabiyah claimed that she was treating patients with flogging, which led to the death of a woman and a child at her hands.
The woman's incident sparked widespread controversy in Sudan on social media.
It was widely circulated that a woman claimed to be a prophet in the countryside of Abu Quta in Al-Jazeera state in the center of the country, and that her followers were killing those who doubt her prophethood, which led to a state of panic among the citizens in the villages adjacent to the woman’s residence, claiming the prophethood, amid calls by loudspeakers in mosques for restraint and intervention authorities to arrest the woman and her followers.
A statement issued by the Sudanese police said that the Gezira police had managed to seize a criminal network specialized in charlatanism and sorcery, consisting of 30 men and women, run by a woman in “Kambu Al-Amin” in the city of Al-Hasahisa.
And al-Kanabi temporary homes for workers engaged in agriculture in the Gezira project, where the owners of agricultural projects hire workers to help in farming and live near the projects in groups with temporary homes built of straw and mud.
The Sudanese police stated that a report was received that a citizen woman residing in the aforementioned “combo” claimed that she had seen the Messenger (peace be upon him) in a dream and her story was approved by the neighboring residents and her family, and that she was performing the flogging of the victims in order to treat them.
She confirmed that two of her victims died of their injuries.
The police indicated that a team from the Hasahisa police station, accompanied by the Raba’ and Abu Quta police station, arrived at the scene and arrested the accused, confirming that two bodies, one of a woman and the other of a child, were found in her home, in addition to the arrest of 29 of her assistants.
The police stated that in light of this, an autopsy order was extracted from the competent prosecution and the two bodies were sent to the mortuary to find out the causes of death.
Sudan has witnessed several cases of people claiming prophethood and promoting these allegations through social media, and their allegations usually end with being pursued by the Sudanese police and punished.
Often the claim is about the person of the “awaited Mahdi”, but the claim of the Lady of Prophethood represents a unique case, especially since this lady was able to convince followers and followers who worked under her command.
