Nigerian Man Chains 10-Year-Old Son For 18 Months For Being ”Possessed By Demons”

Nigerian man has been arrested after allegedly brutalizing and chaining his 10-year-old old son, Ekemini for 18months in Akwa Ibom.

Ekohotblog learned that Ekemini was accused by dad and stepmother of being possessed.

Because of that, Ekemini was constantly tortured, starved and subjected to various inhuman treatment by the father and his wife

He was rescued in Ikot Udota, Eket, Akwa Ibom State by the Child’s and Rehabilitation Network (CRARN)

Speaking on the report, the Head of the CRARN, Sam Ikpe Utauma, said;

“The Child’s Rights and Rehabilitation Network is working with the police in Eket to unravel the probable cause of a father frequently tying up and manhandling his ten year old son in Ikot Udota, Eket, Akwa Ibom State.

“Little Ekemini has had a rough time with his father and stepmother in the family home for the past eighteen months. His situation took a turn for the worst the last eight months when his father began to tie and shackle him then drop him in the backyard sometime without food, persistent beatings and viciously manhandling him.

“His appalling condition caught the attention of a CRARN volunteer through a tip-off, and the police was alerted which led to the father’s arrest, unshackling and rescue of the young lad.

“The members of the community quickly rushed and bailed out the man who didn’t deny his act of brutality on his child but merely boasted that he has the right to treat his child as his he wished.

“Ekemini has complained bitterly about the unrelenting abuse and battering he endures in his family and says he fears for his life.

“While condemning this reprehensible act of brutality against this child, we will be following up with the situation to ensure that the child is safe and out of harm’s way.
