Inmates at the Gambaga witches camp in the North East Region say any attempt to close down the camp would worsen their plight.

According to the about 123 inmates accused of witchcraft, living at the Camp was comfortable, but appealed for food aid and clothing.

Critics have been calling for disbandment of the camp situated within the enclave of the Zongo Community at Gambaga.

During a visit, Sompa FM learnt from the inmates comprising 93 aged women, three children and four men, that their communities were not ready to accept them.

Most of the inmates women at the camp established in the 1900s are between 54 and 100 years and were chased out of their communities for practicing witchcraft.

Others said they were subjected to severe beatings by community people including their biological children for they were able to escape to the camp.

Since its establishment, the Gambaga camp has been a safe haven providing shelter for the alleged witches and wizards.

They live in a common compound under hats, which contain kitchen, toilets and baths.
