In another gut wrenching and bizarre revelation by the Child’s Right And Rehabilitation Network(CRARN) a 40year old man, John Friday Akpan from Akwa Ibom State, resident in Calabar the Cross River State capital, is now explaining to the police how he heeded the advice of a herbalist, “Dr.” Okokon and eventually tagged his two children, Elisha Friday Akpan and Esther Friday Akpan as witches and wizards.

An act reminiscent of the nailing of Jesus Christ on the Cross, Friday Akpan subjected his two children aged, 12 and 6 respectively, to harrowing treatment by nailing them to a plank in shape of a cross and locking them up in a dark, thatch hut without food for weeks. He claimed that the children took his money to their “master in the witchcraft coven and therefore deserve no mercy”. He told the police.Following weeks starvation, the two children whose emaciated and dirty physical appearance replicate the gory images of starving children in famine-ravaged Somalia and war-torn Sudan said they survived by water which was supplied to them by one of the man’s kids from another woman.

“Our sister, Peace usually bring us water inside the hut when our father and our mother had gone out”. Esther said.

Their father, the kids said, used to reside in Akpabuyo, Cross River State, Nigeria with the family where he sent them to a private school, Regent Nursery and Primary School, Ikot Nkanda but when their mother died and the man took another wife, Iquo, the story changed.

“My mother (stepmother), said the woman who used to live near our house in Akpabuyo gave us food and she put something (witchcraft spell) in the food and when we ate it we changed to bird at night and took our fathers money to ‘our master’ in the witchcraft world”. Elisha who is a JSS one student of Regent said.

According to the kids, Elisha was alleged to have taken 4,000 Naira while Esther took 2,000 Naira and that angered their father and step-mother who started beating them severely and denying them food “because they said we took their money to our master in the witchcraft coven. This is something I don’t even understand”

What a disgusting act. NCAN come n check this out

it is about time we seriously criminalise calling others witches or wizards or blasphemers especially in areas where those name tags are being known to cause violence.

So a juju man can accuse someone of witchcraft, what is the difference

Mercy of the Lord! I think they need to reallybpass the law someone mentioned on the other thread. Forrrking nutheadss!

What is it with akwaibom and torturing small children.



I don't think its a coincidence that a step mum is involved again in this case , there was a step mum involved in that other one on FP.

So toturing removes witchcraft abi?
Herbalist is calling someone a witch

Young children who deserve all the care and love are brutalized by same people from whom they expect it.
Very sad.

Oh goodness. Jesus Christ
Gini by kwanu ihe nke Biko? Oh god.
Phew!

Just look at those children. How can an adult who feels very weak after not have eaten for a whole day have it in his heart to starve children for days? How? How? And you're parading yourself as a child of God who has been given the mandate to punish sinners (witches)? What kind of ignorance can excuse this wickedness?

I hope him and his wife die a miserable death. Bastards that will rot in hell.

OOH my God!!!!! And to think Nigerians are busy discussing cucumber SMH.

This one won't garner outrage. It's someone private life that we prefer to masturbate over.

I'm soooo pissed.

They need to go into Akwa Ibom and arrest the false prophets and put them in yaba left equivalent fast. It's becoming a danger zone for innocent kids. Where is the ministry for health, women affairs and youth,
