He Is A Wizard – Woman Who Tortured Boy, 8 Insists

CYRIACUS IZUEKWE

A 45-year old woman, Mrs. Charity Iyonetu who tortured his brother’s 8-year old boy, Chinonye at a place called Animal Kingdom, insisted that the victim was a wizard and she did so to cast the spell from him.

P.M.EXPRESS reports that the incident happened at a community called Animal Kingdom close to Seme boarder in Lagos State where she resided with the victim.

She revealed that since she brought him from their village to Lagos, he had strange behaviours similar to acts by witches and wizards and so she decided to use horsewhip to cast the devil out of him.

However, the action has landed her in trouble after their neighbours who knew about the torture informed the police; she was then arrested and detained at the Police Command for inhuman treatment.

Mrs. Iyonetu was among the suspected criminals paraded by the Commissioner of Police, Mr Imohimi Edgal at the State Command. The police boss said that the case of inhumanity was reported against the suspect on 9th May, 2018, when she used a whip a.k.a koboko to flog and inflict injuries on the boy. She tied his two hands, locked him inside her room apartment and went to her shop.
He said that the boy was in that situation crying and shouting for help for several hours which made one of their neighbours, Mr. Peter Aluku to alert the police.

CP Edgal said that when the police team arrived, they had to break the door and rescue the victim who was in pain and his body stained with blood.
The police then rushed the victim to an undisclosed hospital, arrested the suspect and detained at the cell.
Edgal explained that during investigations, it was discovered that the suspect went to their village at Agbaii in Nkota town of the Imo State and brought him to Lagos after the victim’s mother abandoned him and left to an unknown place.

The CP said that the suspect will be charged to court after the conclusion of investigations. The suspect confirmed what the CP explained and admitted that she actually whipped and inflicted injuries on the victim’s body to cast the demon out from him. She said that she never knew that she was committing an offence and had thought she was training him until she was arrested by the police.
