  • By Her Mother For Years In Akwa Ibom After Prophet Claimed She Was Possessed By Demon (photos)

A mother has been accused of locking up and torturing her 13-year-old
daughter over alleged witchcraft and demonic possession in Oron, Akwa
Ibom State.

According to Child’s Rights and Rehabilitation Network (CRARN) the
child identified as Mercy Effiong, was locked up in a dark toilet by her
mother after their church prophet claimed that she was possessed by a
demon.

It was gathered that Mercy who was deprived of food and hardly given
the needed nutrition, ended up eating her own faeces at some point to
survive.

#13YearsOldGirl Locked Up in The Toilet
This is Mercy Effiong, a 13 years old girl who was locked up in a toilet
and a dark, isolated room for years before she was rescued to the CRARN
Children Centre, Eket, Nigeria.

The mother tortured and neglected her as results of a spurious claim
by her church prophet that she was possessed by demon. She was deprived
of foods and hardly given the needed nutrition to survive. She ended up
eating her own faeces at some points to survive.

Consequent upon this, Mercy suffered from malnutrition and became badly emaciated and almost died before her rescue.

The cruel manner which children like this are treated is unheard of, unimaginable and pathetic.

Mercy is from Oron, Akwa Ibom State, the epicenter of children
stigmatization. She’s one of few lucky children who have survived this
horrific treatment.
