CYRIACUS IZUEKWE

A woman, simply known as Iya Ayo, arrested for tying up her 10-year-old son, Ayo, in a sack and locking him up inside a wardrobe for four days, has told the Police that she was casting out evil spirits from him.

P.M.EXPRESS reports that the incident happened at Fesojaye community, Owode, in Osun State.
It was not certain however, if the evil spirits had left the boy following the tortuous deliverance.
The woman reportedly tied up her son last Thursday until Sunday 16th May, 2020, when a neighbour heard his cry for help. The neighbour immediately alerted the leaders of the community who in turn alerted the Police; the woman was arrested and her son freed.
When interrogated, Iya Ayo, who was said to have separated from Ayo’s father, said her son was possessed with an evil spirit and was in the habit of stealing people’s money. She then decided to deliver him from the evil spirit of stealing, kept him inside the bag and locked him inside wardrobe.
The spokesperson of the State Police Command, DSP Yemisi Opalola, confirmed the incident and said the woman has been arrested and made to sign an undertaking never to maltreat the child. Opalola said efforts are being made to search for the father of the child so the woman can hand Ayo over to him. She added that the Police are closely monitoring the situation.
”We went to arrest her and she told her part of the story; how the boy has been disturbing her. In a nutshell, the Police told her to go and look for the father of the boy if she cannot take care of the child again and she promised to do so. The DPO also followed up yesterday to ensured that the father is found. There is no way the Police can keep the child with them. They have made her to write an undertaking even with a surety, who promised she will never do it again” she said.
