The Child’s and Rehabilitation Network (CRARN) has rescued a 10-year-old boy who was allegedly starved, brutalised and tied up by his father and step-mom in Ikot Udota, Eket, Akwa Ibom State.
According to the head of the NGO, Sam Ikpe Utauma, the victim, Ekemini was constantly tortured, starved and subjected to various inhuman treatment by the father and his wife.
He said the abuse had been going on for eighteen months, however, his situation took a turn for the worse eight months ago, when the father began to shackle and leave him in the backyard overnight, without clothes, claiming that the boy is possessed by demons.
