A father tried to kill his little son twice in Akwa Ibom after accusing him of engaging in witchcraft.

The little boy

Danish aid-worker, Anja Ringgren Loven has successfully rescued a young boy simply identified as Micheal after he was abandoned by his father who accused him of witchcraft and being responsible for the hardship in the family in Akwa Ibom.

It was gathered that the man even tried to kill the boy on two occasions by cutting him with a machete on the head which has left him with permanent scar.

The father’s attempt to kill him failed, so he decided to take him far away from home in the middle of the night so he wouldn’t be able to trace home again.

Since then Michael has been on the road all alone and even got knocked down by a passing car.

Danish aid-worker, Anja Ringgren Loven, shared the story online. She wrote:

We have rescued a new child. I’m not in Nigeria now. He was rescued by David Emmanuel Umem and our team. His name is Michael. His father accused him of being a witch and to be responsible for the hardship in the family !

On two occasions the father tried to kill him by stabbing a machete on his head ! The fathers attempt to kill him failed so instead he took Michael far away from home in the middle of the night so he wouldn’t be able to trace home again.

Since then Michael has been on the road all alone and he even got knocked down by a passing car.

Michael is now safe at Land of Hope. We now have 72 children at Land of Hope and if you want to support Michael and the rest of our children please visit DINNødhjælp website to make a donation:
