A little girl named Emem, who was one of the children picked on the streets of Eket in Akwa Ibom state during a campaign tour by the Ministry of Women Affairs, National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons and related matters (NAPTIP), and Child Protection Network (CPN), has been reunited with her father.

This child was handed over to the CRARN personnel for care and reunification. The girl was giving different stories and locations out of fear of going back to her parents.

But the light beamed one day as she confided in one of the children in the center her reasons for not revealing her father's location so her friend divulged it to a caregiver.

Her reasons included long term starvation in the churches in the name of fasting, rejection by friends in the school, torture by her father and stepmother ( who's also a prophetess.)

She said she roved different prayer houses for more than a year without going to school. She narrated her ordeal in the hands of a prophet who kept her standing in the nights till daybreak so that she would not be called out to the coven. Anytime she slept off she would be brutalized with belts and sticks.

When she could not bear the brunt of the beatings any longer, she sneaked out of the church and ran away. Since then, she's been roaming the streets and sleeping in the bush or uncompleted buildings with other street children . She said when her father met her one day, he rained curses on her and prayed that she dies soon.

Her father was present yesterday in the Centre signing documents to accept her back home.

Useless parent giving birth out of pleasure

how some people find happiness at maltreating their own kids still baffles me, i just don't understand their commitment to this barbaric act!

so many evil going on in the name of God

she is a witch that why she ran away from church

My fasting ends by 12... Can't go longer biko... I heard if one switch off their data from 6 to 6, that's fasting. Simply put, denying oneself of that which gives them pleasure.

Okay

Why return the girl to her tormentor?
I hope their will be regular check-up on her well being.

I hate child abuse of any form. It saddens my soul. I wonder how she survived when she ran away from home...such a little child.

I know dey will call her witch

SweetBoyFriend:

Prayer house ?? You mean a play ground ??

The loving and amazing God was watching from his Mansion in the clouds while they brutalize an innocent girl in his prayer house somewhere on earth ??

Just ban religion all over the world and things will start moving fine

1. God did move some people to set up a refuge for the girl.

2. Even if we remove religion, people will still be killed, and people will suffer. Stalin, an atheist, was responsible for millions of deaths.

Humans are bad people, religion or no

They will still say running away is from the Marin world And They have called her into the ocean for their meeting and escape. una die there with your superstition. Kill person because of evil spirit.

why blame God for the evil men do?

Eh yia

Poor girl suffers from som1 ignorance

And such abuse centres under the guise of prayer houses will still be allowed to operate! Run a Psychological assessment on those so called Prophets and Prophetess, most will turn out to be schizophrenic!

You have a cute smile. How tall are you?

On the topic of fasting, yea, i agree with your definition of fasting..."denying oneself of that which gives them pleasure." I do 6 hours "no internet" fasting once in a while.

The Christians will soon storm this thread to justify the starvation and toture the girl underwent ....... They should just ban religion in this country

Oh Jesus.....naija and religion are like Ghana and one corner dance
