Mother of the 18-year-old boy, Ikechukwu Lucky, who was arrested by the police in Lagos State for strangling a 12-year-old girl, Bose Ogoja, to death for money ritual, in Badagry area of the state, has said her son is possessed of an evil spirit that has been tormenting him.
The mother of the boy, Esa Egbo,
told newsmen, yesterday, that her son had been arrested four times for
attempting to rape little girls between the ages of 10 and 15 years by the
police in Badagry Division.
Mrs. Egbo also said she and her
family are members of Perfect Christianity Mission in Surulere area of Lagos,
where Dr. Ofuche Ukoha (aka Sign Fireman) is the General Overseer, adding
that her son does not know or have any access to the cleric, whom he claimed
sent him to kill the girl.
According to her, “He started two
years ago to molest girls in attempt to rape them. It is not an ordinary thing.
You know some people are very good in hurting other people’s children. So for
that reason I am suspecting that. He has been staying with me from birth and
just two years ago when he was 16 years old, a man who lives close to us laid a
curse on him.
“What happened was that we have a
well in our compound and Ikechukwu and one of the man’s daughters were at the
well fetching water and they had a quarrel. Ikechuwu beat up the
girl and when the man returned he brought out a belt to whip Ike and I
prevented him. He started boasting that he was going to make Ike useless and
miserable. I thought he was joking but after that Ikechuwu started behaving
funny.
“Whenever he goes out during the day
and sees a little girl he would grip and attempt to rape her and the girl would
scream alerting people around, who would arrest and beat him up before handing
him over to the police at Badagry Police Station.
“On lucky days, he would escape and
flee the area. He has been arrested four times over the same offence and
I am the one who normally goes to bail him.
“In April last year, he made me lose
over N25,000 I paid as WAEC exam fee. On the day he was supposed to start the
exam, he left home with his school uniform and didn’t return until after
two weeks. When he came back he told me that the demon came over him on
his way to school and he gripped a girl and when the girl screamed he managed
to escape so he decided to run away from home.
“I and the father went to beg the
people whose child he molested and I decided to follow him to school through
out his NECO examinations.
“The last one before this occurred
on December 10, 2013 at Imeke. He was arrested and charged to court and
remanded in Badagry Prison. I got a lawyer who stood for him before he was
granted bail.
“While these things were happening,
I told our branch pastor at Badagry about it but I didn’t tell our GO.
“Whenever he sees a little girl he
would grip the girl and when she screams he would return to him self. He does
not do it at night, it’s always during the day time.
“On this particular case, he told me
that he was going to work at a place where a building was demolished by
government opposite the French Village in Badagry. They are actually
constructing a factory at that place and he used to help them carry bags of
cement for which they paid him some stipends at the end of the day.
“He failed to return
home that day and I and his father went out to look for him at his place of
work and people around told us that they didn’t see him. The next day we
didn’t see him, so by Wednesday, we decided to go to the police station at
Badagry.
“A police woman we met told us that
we should go to the SCID to look for him. I asked her what was his offence and
she refused to tell me, rather she said when I got to the SCID that I would
know what was my son’s offence.
“The next day I and my husband went
to the SCID and when I saw my son he told me that there was a woman who
sells food close to where he used to work and the woman had a daughter.
“He said on that day he was eating
at the woman’s shop when he saw the girl passing and all of a sudden something
came over him and he stood up and followed the girl and gripped her so tight
and the girl screamed and died after which he regained consciousness.
“He attempted to run, but someone at
a building close by who saw all what happened apprehended him. He used to tell
me that he was not misbehaving consciously but that something used to come over
him and I have told our branch pastor about it and he prayed for him.
“My son didn’t accuse the GO. I
don’t have the GO’s phone number and that of my son. My son didn’t
beg the GO for money and even our branch pastor he has never gone to beg for
money. Ikechukwu was the most gentle of all my children but this demon
destroyed his life.”
Contacted, Dr. Fireman told Vanguard
that he was innocent of the allegations, saying he does not know the boy.
He said: “I don’t know that boy and
if anybody should know him or his family as members of our church, it’s the
Badagry branch pastor. I am the GO of my church. You can imagine how
possible it would be for an 18-year-old boy from a distant branch to have easy
access to me talk alone contracting him to kill someone on my behalf.”
