Monday, July 7, 2025 - A tragic and disturbing incident has been reported from Bayelsa State, where a 42-year-old man, Samuel Otasi, allegedly poisoned his three sons after a church prophecy claimed they were wizards.
According to police at the Igbogini Divisional Headquarters,
Otasi forced his sons, aged 10, 12, and 14, to drink Sniper, a
deadly insecticide, with the help of a relative. The chilling act was
reportedly influenced by a prophecy from one George Odugo, who claimed in
church that the children had been bewitched by their mother to destroy his life
and destiny.
According to TVC, One of the boys miraculously survived and
managed to escape from the bush where they were tied up and poisoned. He later
revealed how his father and uncle forced them to drink the chemical, leaving
visible rope marks on their bodies.
Medical staff who treated the surviving child confirmed that
he arrived unconscious and in critical condition. Upon regaining strength, he
informed authorities that his two siblings were still in the bush. By the time
the police arrived, the other two boys had already died.
The wooden crates used to carry their bodies from the forest
were shown to journalists during a visit by the Bayelsa State Commissioner of
Police to the crime scene.
The suspect, Samuel Otasi, remains in custody and is
expected to face trial. Meanwhile, his guy mother, who lost two grandsons in
the incident and now has her son in detention, broke down in tears at the
police station.
Police have warned parents to separate personal marital
issues from their children, noting that innocent lives should never become
victims of misguided spiritual claims.
