Coffin maker dumps 14-yr-old son in well for casting evil spell on business

A middle-aged man, identified as Papa Ogada, has dumped his 14-
year-old son in a well, accusing him of being behind his inability to
make progress in life.
We gathered that Ogada, a coffin maker, who hails from Oberete
village in Obingwa Local Government Area of Abia State, had been
complaining that his son was a wizard, who had caused him serial
misfortunes since reuniting with him, after leaving his mother’s
place.
A source said:
“The truth is that the man has been separated from the boy’s
mother. Since the boy came back from his mother’s place
where he lived, the man has been accusing him of being a
wizard.
“He once told us that he had consulted many spiritualists, who
told him that his son is a wizard and is behind the problems he
has had in his business.“We are not surprised that he went this
far.”
It was learned that Ogada contacted one of his friends, who
helped him tie up the boy with his school uniform, books and
other property and drove off at about 9p.m. to neighbouring
Abiaka village, where they dumped him in an abandoned well.
According to a resident of Abiaka village, who was part of
rescue efforts,
“some of us had already retired for the day when we started
hearing shouts and cries coming from the location of the
abandoned well, but we thought people were fighting.“As the
shouts increased, we summoned courage and got to the area
and discovered that it was coming from the abandoned well. We
got a rope and bucket, threw them inside and the boy managed
to cling to and was pulled out.
“He was already weak with injuries. We thanked God the well
had been out of use; he might not have survived.”
At press time, the boy was said to be receiving medical attention
at an undisclosed hospital, while his father’s whereabouts is
unknown.
