The police in Benin City, Edo State on Tuesday found a dead two year old boy in a “Ghana must go” bag in possession of the dead child’s father, police said in Benin yesterday. Two-year-old Master Comfort Effiong was allegedly poisoned over allegations of witchcraft, by his own father who was intercepted by the police at a check point in the city.

The body of the child was discovered in possession of his father, Mr. John Effiong, 32, and two others along the Benin – Abraka axis of the city. It was gathered that the child was last Tuesday fed with a plate of poisoned rice. The father, it was alleged, collaborated with his wife to take their son’s life in reaction to a prophecy that the child was a wizard who was attempting to harm his pregnant mother.

Though one John Okoh and Pastor Aniekan Achiobong have been arrested for complicity, the alleged prophet, Ini Monday of the Caretaker Light of God Church, 8, Uyi Street, off Goody Good day Street, Upper Sakponba Road, Benin City has been declared wanted by the police. The spokesman, Edo Police Command, ASP Peter Ogboi, who confirmed the incident advised members of the public to be mindful of prophecies. According to him, the police have spread their search to arrest the fleeing prophet while the victim’s father and two others now in police net would be charged for murder.

Habaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa what the Bleep is that, !

the pastor who told the parents such thing
why can't him cast the witch/wizard out of the boy

its a pity though

Illiteracy is bad !!!

pschew!!! 3rd world country indeed!!!

Gosh. . . . .

it is a pity
why did the parents of the two years old child succumed to such info from the pastor,
they would have looked for another alternative of casting the witch/wizard out of the boy if at all it was true instead of killing their own son.

It is time pastors come out and educate masses about scams carried out by fake pastors and methods of reporting them to the authorities. A true pastor should cast out the evil spirit than just put people in fear which will lead them to criminal activities. This 'witch' thing is getting out of hand.

All these illiterate and superstitious beliefs!

Poor child.

Even nigerian president is deluded,hence his frequent visits to mecca for pilgrimages.The whole country seem under the influence of hypnotism,a state of stupor and illusions.

illitracy is a disease

such things arent news anymore thts why we call it NIGERIA

WTF, why o why do people still do this.

which one is witch again honestly ignorance is not bliss

Fake pastors why are you also wicked, you have leaped from indiscriminate collection of people's money to indirect killing of their children.
God is watching. I advice people should be careful.

Wickedness has taken a front row seat in african churches long,long time ago.

Religion, Religion, Religion , how many times ? What a barrier you are to human development.

Imagine what fanaticm can cause.

Heart rending
height of callousness
HOW CAN YOU DO THAT TO AN INNOCENT CHILD FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE?

Another soul lost to Christ. How sad.

isnt it time the govt does something about these men og God or pastors or visio seers. these stuffs are getting out of hand.i magine a pastore aiding a man to kill his maybe only son.things these pple do in the name of Jehova.

why can't the pastor cast the demon out from the small boy

May d soul of the little boy rest in perfect peace y the law take its full course. Amen.

They will pay for this the bible says let no one harm even a hair on a childs head. I would hate to be all those who was involed in this crime on judgement day.

Juju Christianity, as long as Nigerians keep on searching 4 miracles instead of working hard to achieve desired goal, stories like this will continue to dominate our daily lives. The men of god are nothing but con men. Nigerians and their ignorance.

All of you saying the pastor could have cast the demon out of the child would probably do the same thing giving the circumstances. Religion is poisonous. Education is the key, as well as getting rid of religion all together. Its the root of 99% of all Evil. As John Lennon said: "Imagine no religion"

may God have mercy on their souls

Religion is not the root of evil its the ppl who are the problem.

Man created religion. Thats why we have thousands of religions in the world today. You belief your religion and dismiss others. How do you explain that? Every civilization has religion. Why? We had our religion(s) in Nigeria before Christainity and Islam. Why? Because every civilization creates its own religion. Just think about it.

Sounds like something out of Jonestown. We have a lot of "Jim Jones" in Nigeria parading as prophets and pastors. I shudder at the thought of it

ok that picture gave me chills and a flood of bad memories

when are people going to get over this imagined "witchcraft" thing. this is NOT christian! the church doesnt even recognize excersism of demons anymore, get over this. this "witch' thing is all based on poor education of the pastor and the parents.
