A 15 year boy, Asuquo Edet from Akwa Ibom
State - was mid last week tortured for more
than four hours before finally axed on the
head to a state of coma by assailants
numbering about ten over allegation of
using witchcraft power to kill his father.

Narrating his ordeal in the hands from those
he called local cultists to newsmen,
Asuquo, who hails from Ikon- Edikor, Udung
Uko Local Government Area, said he was
reconciled with his parents few months ago
by an Eket based non-profit organization,
the Childs Right and Rehabilitation
Network (CRARN) that runs a centre for
witch stigmatized children, having lived
there for over a year.

He maintained that his father who had
unknown health issue received him with
open arms, before he died a few days ago.
My father was very happy to see me
again after abandoning me for more than
three years on the streets because one
soothsayer, by nameAlex Otong from
Obughu, bought by my stepmother told him
that I was a wizard; and responsible for his
illness, the poverty and misfortune in the
family
The Junior Secondary II student said he was
sitting in his late fathers house,
mourning his death that fateful day when
the hoodlums led by two of his
stepmothers brothers, by name Silas
and Peter Inwang cordoned the house and
started beating him with machetes, cables,
rods, spine-sticks and mbritem a
local sugarcane-like plant while questioning
him why he returned from exile only to kill
his father; assuring him that he was seeing
the sun for the last time in his life.

The beating which started about 12:00 pm
last Wednesday lasted for about four hours
when he finally fell into a state of coma after
they used ax to break his head. The
attackers abandoned Asuquo in in his pool
of blood when they presumed that he was
dead.

He disclosed that he was only woken up in
the evening around 7:00 pm by a woman,
who frequently visits the area for business;
who asked him to leave the house before
the cult men discovered he was still alive, as
they would not hesitate to renew their
attack or kill him immediately.
Master Asuquo said he wobbled into the
nearby bush where he hid himself for three
days eating just raw cassava to survive
before he came out to meet the Good
Samaritan woman who gave him Five
Hundred Naira (N500) to pay his way to the
CRARN Children shelter, about a 160km
away from his hometown.

He strongly fingered his stepmother who
had ten children to his late father as the
mastermind of the attack on him. Adding
that, while he was being brutalized, by the
dare devils, they persistently poured urine
and combine (a local gin mixed with
marijuana) on him which burned him like
fire all over his body.
On arrival at the CRARN Children Shelter, he
was given first aid before taken to the
Immanuel General Hospital Eket for
treatment. But the Doctor on call insisted
that given the extent of injuries on his
body, he must get a police report before he
could be attended to.

The CRARN Centre Administrative Officer,
Mr. Nsidibe Orok told this reporter that
Asuquo was currently receiving treatment
at the Immanuel General Hospital, Eket at
moment.
A senior police officer in Oron Area
Command who did not want his name in
print, however, said investigation will
commence when the victim��s health
improves.
He expressed worry over the new surge in
child witch related abuse in the state, and
promised the command willingness to deal
with abuses of like nature.

Let his health gets improved, we will
investigate the matter. I can assure you
that this command will not fold its arm and
watch children being brutalized in the name
of witchcraft or whatever guise.
The police chief assures.
