A Nigerian couple has been arrested in the US for allegedly allowing their teenage son to starve to death and his brother to become severely emaciated during a religious fast.

Wisconsin prosecutors charged Kehinde Omosebi, 49, and Titilayo Omosebi, 48, with child neglect causing death and child neglect causing great bodily harm. Both charges are felonies and carry a combined maximum sentence of 37 years in prison .

Reedsburg Police Chief Timothy Becker says the father went to the police station Sunday to report the death of his 15-year-old son. When police arrived at the family's home they found the dead teen and an extremely emaciated 11-year-old boy.
The mother was also found to be emaciated.

Becker said the father told police he was a minister affiliated with Cornerstone Reformation Ministries and that the family had started a religious fast on July 19. Investigators do not believe the father is a minister and made up the name of the ministry.

Becker says police do not believe the father is a minister..

The younger boy and his mother were brought to the hospital. The mother refused treatment, citing religious reasons, and was taken to the Sauk County Jail.

The 11-year-old is in protective custody at Children’s Hospital in Madison..

Just imagine the level of brainwashing that will make someone be fasting from July 19th till about now..


Are you trying to cast out his DNA from his body??

Just jail them please... How can God honor a fast I was compelled to do, when all my mind they for soup pot

Some christians will ofcourse never see this one! Imagine thousands of similar cases here in AFRICA...they will say words like "that innocent child is a witch/possessd" or say thats "how the Lord wants it" And just bury the child like that. And thats how the case will die down..Well! a case is not really a case if it wasn't a case in the first place.
RELIGION without common sense is a TIMEBOMB. Africans are just superdumb when it comes to religion.

Why will people starve themselves for some nonexisting god?
A god who derives joy seeing you starve before he answers your prayer is a cruel god

Throw their stupid and deluded assess in jail. Motherfucking religitards.

LOL. The white man is alway there to teach savages the proper way to behave.

America has its own issues and most often are seeing netting out justice on blacks ..if thus makes headline in us most will say hmmm blacks blah blah blah but if whites trust me they will say mental issue and go on to give diagnosis

Nigerians and this our believe, I remembered my friend's mum who was very religious in naija, but when he went for visiting in the UK her orientation changed completely. When we ask her what happened she told us that God is not that hard to serve, that in London they work and not sleep in church expecting miracle.

see how fasting dried their faces like smoked fish

So many sick people in these world

No matter where you run to we will follow you to force you to pay for your deeds.

Una nefa see anything.

Good. If the parents want, they can fast non-stop till the loose all flesh but shouldn't make the poor children to. If at all children must fast, it has to be half day.
Now one son is dead, will they agree it is their foolishness that sent the boy to his early grave

Don't worry I'm not using any of his "supply" if at all he created any aside from your empty claims founded on ignorance and wishful thinking.

How them take get to USA at the first instance and still have that kinda low level of thinking ....it's really a pity, they look like Kenyans anyways
