Truely sad. Biological mother of a 7-year-old Joshua Zikeme who was tortured to death at Akaba, Bayelsa, by his father and stepmother has spoken out about the death of her son. . The young boy died after he was allegedly beaten by his father, stepmother and pastor in Bayelsa State.
A Facebook user, Wariebi Sapere-obi shared the photos first and revealed that the child was brought into CHEW (children emergency) FMC Yenagoa already dead.
The 29-year-old Erueke John revealed to Vanguard that her son was tortured after a mushroom church in Yenagoa alleged that he was a wizard.
This led to him being tied to a stake and chunks of his flesh were sliced off in an attempt to exorcise him, thereby leading to his death.
She said that though her son was stubborn, that did not make him a wizard.
“They killed my son in cold blood. I was told the suspects used sharp objects to slice all parts of his body in an attempt to exorcise him.
“I left the father’s house while I was pregnant with the boy, because he was beating me and was also into illegal sales of hard drugs.
“If he had come alone to seek the child’s custody, I would have objected because he is too violent. But the step-mother pleaded and I agreed. Many people, including the aunty in school, warned me but I allowed them take the child. And they have killed him for me.”
Joshua Zikeme was brought dead to the Federal Medical Centre, FMC, Yenagoa, his body covered in bruises. This led the hospital management to alert the police who then arrested the couple. The boy’s father, Idiesy Zikeme, and his step-mother, Eunice Zikeme have been transferred to the homicide section of the Bayelsa state Police Command for further interrogation.
Mrs. Julianna Isaac, the proprietress of Dominion Success Academy where Joshua, a Nursery 3 student, schooled before his death, spoke to vanguard, revealing her shock.
“We are shocked at the death of the boy. That a child showed signs of stubbornness does not make him a wizard and be killed in cold blood. We know him and we even missed him during the last exams.” Mrs. Isaac said.

It's unfortunate that churches nowadays tell you something that you want to hear. That's one of the reasons I have given up on religion.
ReplyDeleteThat step mum connived with the fakestor to formulate such story about the boy...In the husband's case,he was brainwashed so we won't blame the weakling ...but why didn't the mum fight to take custody of the boy?this is the mistake some women make...there's no soft hearted step mum as far as their step child continue to exist...
