virgin for ritual speaks

*Ikechukwu Friday, the suspect
By Ifeanyi Okolie
LAGOS — MOTHER of the 18-year-old boy,
Ikechukwu Lucky, who was arrested by the police
in Lagos State for strangling a 12-year-old girl,
Bose Ogoja, to death for money ritual, in Badagry
area of the state, has said her son is possessed of
an evil spirit that has been tormenting him.
The mother of the boy, Esa Egbo, told newsmen,
yesterday, that her son had been arrested four
times for attempting to rape little girls between
the ages of 10 and 15 years by the police in
Badagry Division.
Mrs. Egbo also said she and her family are
members of Perfect Christianity Mission in
Surulere area of Lagos, where Dr. Ofuche Ukoha
(aka Sign Fireman) is the General Overseer,
adding that her son does not know or have any
access to the cleric, whom he claimed sent him to
kill the girl.
Neighbour laid a curse on him
She explained that two years ago, a neighbour
laid a curse on her son and after then he started
behaving strangely, thereby attempting to rape
little children whenever he sees them.
According to her, “He started two years ago to
molest girls in attempt to rape them. It is not an
ordinary thing. You know some people are very
good in hurting other people’s children. So for
that reason I am suspecting that. He has been
staying with me from birth and just two years ago
when he was 16 years old, a man who lives close
to us laid a curse on him.
“What happened was that we have a well in our
compound and Ikechukwu and one of the man’s
daughters were at the well fetching water and
they had a quarrel. Ikechuwu beat up the girl
and when the man returned he brought out a
belt to whip Ike and I prevented him. He started
boasting that he was going to make Ike useless
and miserable. I thought he was joking but after
that Ikechuwu started behaving funny.
“Whenever he goes out during the day and sees a
little girl he would grip and attempt to rape her
and the girl would scream alerting people around,
who would arrest and beat him up before
handing him over to the police at Badagry Police
Station.
Arrested four times for attempted rape
“On lucky days, he would escape and flee the
area. He has been arrested four times over the
same offence and I am the one who normally
goes to bail him.
“In April last year, he made me lose over N25,000
I paid as WAEC exam fee. On the day he was
supposed to start the exam, he left home with his
school uniform and didn’t return until after two
weeks. When he came back he told me that the
demon came over him on his way to school and
he gripped a girl and when the girl screamed he
managed to escape so he decided to run away
from home.
“I and the father went to beg the people whose
child he molested and I decided to follow him to
school through out his NECO examinations.
“The last one before this occurred on December
10, 2013 at Imeke. He was arrested and charged
to court and remanded in Badagry Prison. I got a
lawyer who stood for him before he was granted
bail.
“While these things were happening, I told our
branch pastor at Badagry about it but I didn’t tell
our GO.
“Whenever he sees a little girl he would grip the
girl and when she screams he would return to
him self. He does not do it at night, it’s always
during the day time.
On the current issue
“On this particular case, he told me that he was
going to work at a place where a building was
demolished by government opposite the French
Village in Badagry. They are actually constructing
a factory at that place and he used to help them
carry bags of cement for which they paid him
some stipends at the end of the day.
“He failed to return home that day and I and his
father went out to look for him at his place of
work and people around told us that they didn’t
see him. The next day we didn’t see him, so by
Wednesday, we decided to go to the police
station at Badagry.
“A police woman we met told us that we should
go to the SCID to look for him. I asked her what
was his offence and she refused to tell me, rather
she said when I got to the SCID that I would know
what was my son’s offence.
“The next day I and my husband went to the
SCID and when I saw my son he told me that
there was a woman who sells food close to where
he used to work and the woman had a daughter.
“He said on that day he was eating at the
woman’s shop when he saw the girl passing and
all of a sudden something came over him and he
stood up and followed the girl and gripped her so
tight and the girl screamed and died after which
he regained consciousness.
“He attempted to run, but someone at a building
close by who saw all what happened
apprehended him. He used to tell me that he was
not misbehaving consciously but that something
used to come over him and I have told our
branch pastor about it and he prayed for him.
I dont know the boy — Sign Fireman
“My son didn’t accuse the GO. I don’t have the
GO’s phone number and that of my son. My son
didn’t beg the GO for money and even our
branch pastor he has never gone to beg for
money. Ikechukwu was the most gentle of all my
children but this demon destroyed his life.”
Contacted, Dr. Fireman told Vanguard that he
was innocent of the allegations, saying he does
not know the boy.
He said: “I don’t know that boy and if anybody
should know him or his family as members of our
church, it’s the Badagry branch pastor. I am the
GO of my church. You can imagine how possible it
would be for an 18-year-old boy from a distant
branch to have easy access to me talk alone
contracting him to kill someone on my behalf.”

never believed the dr. Fireman accusation anyways.....so good he has a good alibi now....just grease the officer's palm and you are home free....I need me some fire man!!

Amen!

At times I wonder why people do not make sufficient research before they turn it in. I imagine the insults that would have been heaped on that pastor, even now, some will not believe the testimony of the mother. May God deliver the boy and be with the family of the girl.

Perhaps the mother has been made an offer she couldn't refuse.
I expect the boy to change chorus too, expecting to be freed by prayer.
God knows best.

Since your Fireman can't deliver him, take him to TB Joshua

The pastor and his thugs must have either threatened to kill the boy's mother if she did'nt come to their rescue with the cock and bull story or given her a mouth watering offer she could not reject to make her betray her son "A desperate and evil man would do anything to be free" my own take..

:/ :/

Interesting


We are watching

As an Atheist,i dont believe in the demon possessed crap. However,a simple psychiatric evaluation on the suspect should be one of the first step the investigators should have done to determine the mental health of the suspects before going public with unverifiable claim,but that will never be done. A society where investigators obtain statements from suspects by the worst form of cruelty and torture rather than simple investigative techniques.

Most nigerians are gullible....thats why illiteracy seize to stop in this 21st century.On the other thread, some assholes who knew little or nothing about him castigate and say all sorts of rubbish.SMH.what God will judge is much

^^u dey d list too.



@topic, hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.....

Most of our reporters are nothing more than rumour mongers, cant they investigate and find out from the police if the womans claim of several arrest of the child for molestation is true.

He could longed been seen by a psychiatric in a rational society where religion is irrelevant.But nigeria being primitively superstitious,everything mis-normal is blamed on demons and spirits.

It's obvious the young man is mentally deranged and needs to be kept in a psychiatric hospital before he further hurt others( thats if he gets out of this mess)... if na abroad he can't be charged for murder because he is not mentally fit to stand before a jury .. make police do psychiatric evaluation first to determine if he is a serial molester con killer before confining him to an asylum.

He could have longed be held back securely.The system failed the poor little girl that was killed.

Pls where is the police records to buttress the fact that the young man is a serial offender?


Why is that pastor talking from the confines of his home, instead of police net?

If truly the boy was arrested severally in the past and it could be verified, I think that may absolve the man in my own view.
There is no case against him as it stands now but I wonder why the boy mentioned him and packing the deceased's feaces in the first instance.

LadyH: ^^u dey d list too.
