Wicked Father: Policeman brutalizes his 8 year old daughter over allegations of witchcraft!

What you are about to read is the crazy act of wickedness from a Police officer identified as Ita Ayamba to his 8 year old daughter, Goodness who he brutalized over an allegation of witchcraft.

Sources say Ita, a Police Sergeant, who hails from Ibiaku community, Mkpat Enin Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State, brutalized and paraded the little girl along the streets naked, declaring that Goodness was responsible for his retrogression in the Police Force.

A relative of Ita, told news men under anonymity, that the police sergeant tortured his daughter for several hours in an attempt to extract a confession of being a witch from her.

“When he discovered that Goodness had passed out, Ita abandoned her, having hit her chest with the butt of his AK 47 Rifle. None of us could go close to Ita to rescue Goodness as he had threatened to shoot anyone that dared. I don’t see how a child of that age could become a clog in the wheel of her father’s progress in the Police Force. We need to tell each other the truth. Progress in one’s career depends on the efforts one has made academically.”

Ita and Goodness’ mother divorced many years ago after which he took the children to his their grandmother and then remarried almost immediately. 

Ita was later transferred to a new station in Port Harcourt and on July 28, 2013 when the children were on holiday, he requested custody of the children, which his ex-wife Mrs. Anietie Ayamba, granted. A neighbour,  Okon Ekong, says, he added that the children’s stepmother made life miserable for them. 

Ita's new wife, took the children to a Pentecostal church in Port Harcourt where Goodness was accused of witchcraft. The stepmother was told that Goodness was the person responsible for their father’s failure to  rise in his career in the Police force. Ita whow as also at the church at the time of the revelation, punched on the little girl, beating and kicking her, in a bid to extract a confession from her.

The girl was later taken to Immanuel Hospital, Eket, Eket LGA, on Saturday, where she was admitted at the intensive care unit of the children’s ward. Nurses at the hospital said Goodness’ condition was stable but that her bones and chest cavity had been badly damaged.

As fo now, a group of women lawyers under the aegis of Federation of International Women Lawyers have said that they would do everything within their power to ensure that Ita was brought to justice.

The state director of the organisation, Mrs. Mary Udonsek, stated that the women would not continue to sit back and allow men maltreat their children on the guise of labelling them witches.

Ita, said to be working at Trans Amadi Police Station, Port Harcourt, Rivers State had allegedly not been to Ibiaku, Mkpat Enin LGA since the incident.

The state Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Etim Dickson, said the Rivers State Police Command would be contacted about the matter.
