A case of witchcraft as a man tortures his 6year old child for five days!
I thought these stories are done with and dusted.Its quite shocking to do this to your own child and claim witchcraft?
A 6year old was subjected to a harrowing experience when her father tied her hands and feet,covered her mouth with a cloth and locked her up in a room for 5days before she was finally rescued.
Edidiong Ekot Akpan said her 42 year old father Mr Edet Etok Akpan started beating her severely after a Prophetes Endurance in their church told him she was the one stalling his progress in life.He beat her up for 2days and finally tied her up and put a white cloth in her mouth,she was not permitted to leave the room,eat or go to school.
She was slowly dying and almost starved to death but luck came her way when a neighbor's child saw her through the window bound on the floor and raised alarm.'' The girl called her parents and neighbours to come and see Edidiong tied like a goat inside their house'' reports James Ibor a child advocates lawyer of the Basic Rights Counsel,who was called to the scene.He prompted reported the matter to Cross Rivers Police Command Headquarters,Superintendent George.
He said the girl was very weak because she had been without food for days,''So we had to give her water,then,after about ten minutes we gave her milk,before solid food an hour later''.
Ibor said her parents had locked her inside an inner room in their two bedroom apartment and went to church in the hope that she will be dead by the time they got back home.''God saved her and she is now living with her grandmother in another part of town''.
DSP John Umoh has said that Mr Akpan has been arrested and will appear in court soon on a charge of felony.
This a clear case of child abuse!
The girl,
who said she attends Femos Nursery and Primary School, located at 24
Etyin Abasi Street, Calabar, was dying after days without food or water
when luck came her way on Sunday, 23rd February, at about 11 am, as
another child who lives in the same with her family came to their
veranda, looked through the window and saw Edidiong bound on the floor
and screamed. “The girl called her parents and neighbours to come and
see Edidiong tied like a goat inside their house”, Mr James Ibor of the
Basic Rights Counsel, a child rights advocate lawyer, who was called to
the scene, said. - See more at:

She said after the severe beatings, which, according to her, lasted for two days, on Thursday, 21st February, her father tied her hands with a cord and covered her mouth with a piece of cloth and “locked me in the inner room of our house and he never gave me food and never allowed me to go to school ”.
The girl, who said she attends Femos Nursery and Primary School, located at 24 Etyin Abasi Street, Calabar, was dying after days without food or water when luck came her way on Sunday, 23rd February, at about 11 am, as another child who lives in the same with her family came to their veranda, looked through the window and saw Edidiong bound on the floor and screamed. “The girl called her parents and neighbours to come and see Edidiong tied like a goat inside their house”, Mr James Ibor of the Basic Rights Counsel, a child rights advocate lawyer, who was called to the scene, said.
Ibor said that when the neighbours saw the girl in that state, one of them called him and he, in turn, informed the officer in charge of legal matters at the Cross River State Police Command headquarters, Superintendent George, and they both drove to the place.
“As we were going there, we also informed the police at Efuk, Mbukpa to join us.When we got there, we saw a crowd outside and we knew that,that was the place and we went in and carried out the rescue by breaking the door”.
He said the girl was “very weak because she had been without food for days and so we had to give her water first, then, after about ten minutes, we gave her milk before solid food an hour later”.
Ibor said the father and mother had locked up the girl in the inner room of their two- room apartment and went to church in the hope that by the time they came back, the girl may have died. “God saved her and she is now living with her grandmother in another part of town,”the lawyer said.
DSP John Umoh, Cross River State Police Command spokesman, said the father, from Akwa Ibom State, had been arrested and would soon appear in court to answer charges of felony. “To tie a small girl hand and mouth and lock her in a room for days without food is a grievious offence; he (the father) will soon appear in court”, Umor added.
