Bizarre! Rivers Police Arrest Man,10-yr-old Boy For Witchcraft

PORT HARCOURT— The residents of
Iwofe, Rumuolumeni in Obio/Akpor
Local Government Area of Rivers
State were on Monday, thrown into
confusion following the
apprehension of a 10-year-old boy
said to have turned into a cat to
witch-hunt a family in the
community.

A resident of the community who
spoke to Vanguard said a cat jumped
into a room from nowhere while the
occupants were wide awake. The cat
was said to have transformed to a
boy as they were planning on how to
chase out what they thought was a
mere cat.

Vanguard gathered that when the
cat turned into a young boy, the
occupants of the room screamed to
attract their neighbors who came to
their aid.

The source also said the boy begged
his captors that night not to kill
him, naming his accomplice as a 48-
year-old man said to have sponsored
his evil mission to the family.

Meanwhile, the Iwofe Divisional
Police Headquarters has arrested the
boy and the 48-year-old man. When
contacted, a senior police officer,
who spoke on condition of
anonymity, said: “Actually, two
people have been arrested in
connection to witchcraft activity.”
But he declined to give further
information on the issue, insisting
that it is only the Police Public
Relations Officer, PPRO, that is
empowered to do so.

Contacted, the Rivers Police
Command spokesperson , ASP Grace
Koko, said she was yet to be briefed
on the issue.
