A father of five, Austin Segun, who tied his 13-year-old son to a burglar-proof for three days because a Church leader said the boy was a wizard, has been given an ultimatum to leave Eruemukohwarien community, Ughelli North LGA of Delta State. .

Mr. Segun was said to have been released on bail after he was arrested and detained at the Ughelli ‘A’ Division Police Station over the incident. The victim, Tobi Segun, who just finished his Primary 6 School Leaving Certificate exams, was rescued by a group of vigilante, who heard him whimpering at about 2a.m. .

One of the vigilante members, who rescued the victim, told Vanguard that during their routine night patrol, they heard the faint cry of the boy saying he wants to die and that he can no longer bear the torture. .

The boy was tied to the window protector while his hands were tied behind him. Confirming the incident, the victim’s step-mother, Mrs. Edijala Favour Segun, said: “They told us that he is a wizard at a Church we went to for prayers and he also admitted that he is a wizard.

At a point, my husband had to use a hot iron to burn his palm and feet owing to his misbehaviour. Despite this, he opened the fridge in the house and ate everything. This led to my husband tying his hands and legs to the protector. He had just been tied for three days before we were arrested.

I was asked to take Tobi to the Ughelli Central Hospital for treatment. My husband was able to secure his release, but the IPO in charge of the case ordered that we should move out of the community.” .

Recounting his ordeal to Vanguard, Tobi said: “I always run from the house because I am not comfortable. My mother is dead and the woman here is my step-mother.”

Wickedness

na wa o..pastors doing more harm than good

He is a monster not a father!!

What is happening in Nigeria nowadays?

chai! this world ehn!







if I catch any name checker

The rates of madness these days is so alarming.

There is always the combination of church and stepmother in such cruelty.
The pastor should also be arrested and charged to serve as deterrent to other pastors so that they know there is consequences for any of their utterances that leads to their members committing acts of violence.

Ha! Some people do not deserve to have children.



GIVE YOUR SKIN A TREAT, CHECK MY SIGNATURE!

What has church turned into, what has pastors become? Who will save these gullible followers? Christ expelled demons and delivered the afflicted. Why do so called pastors and prophets only perform fortune telling? Why didn't the said pastor exorcise the wizardry he saw in this motherless child? Why would a senseless follower beat his own son because of what a pastor said. So many perplexing questions.

Was gonna ask of the boys mum. The pastor, dad and step mum should be dealt with severely. Firstly look how sickly and frail he looks obviously he is not being well taken care of. And u expect him not to pick thgs to survive? How crude.

He is a wizard, why are u a pastor? People be finding excuses to ill treat and oppress others.

We look for spiritual cause of everything in this country. No one is willing to own their mistakes, instead people look for whom to blame by going to pastors, clerics, alfa, priestess, babalawo, etc for prophecies. And these people don't ever disappoint them, there is always a culprit.

So if u tie wizard it can't operate ba, Mumu full this country.

Father deserves the same punishment please

Austin Segun

Na dem, Barbaric

the step mother is a witch

this one is no father

Some people don't just deserve to have kids.

Some people are hopeless
