Detectives from the Festac Police Post swung into action and arrested Mr Benjamin Etim in Tincan Island.

Mr Benjamin Etim from Oron, Akwa Ibom state, accused his teenage son of being a witch. He claimed his son was responsible for the misfortunes in his life.

Per Second News gathered from the Police that they found the boy suffering from multiple stab wounds to the head, chest and stomach. The boy was bleeding and breathing heavily, Police said.

Desperately emaciated, the 15-year-old boy could barely stand and talk  at the Isolo General hospital where he is being treated.
