The Bayelsa State Police Command has arrested a 42 – year – old father , Sunday Otasi , for allegedly killing two of his sons with a poisonous substance , identified to be ‘ Sniper ’, over suspicion of witchcraft .
The third son , however , narrowly escaped death and is in a critical condition after he escaped from the bush, where his father and his younger brother had tied the three of them to trees.
He was said to have tied them to trees with the help of his younger brother , Levai Ayah , and forced them to drink the poisonous substance .
It was learnt that the three children got into trouble with their father in September last year when a Yenagoa – based prophet , George Odoko , of the George Odoko Outreach Ministries , told Otasi that his children were wizards and were responsible for his illness .
