A 39-year-old father of three, Ekpeyong Essien, has blamed his two sons, whom he alleged are witches, for pushing him into defiling a nine-year-old girl.
Essien, who hails from Bakassi Local Government Area of Cross River State, had on July 12, defiled the little girl, Bright Benjamin, at Hawkins Primary School in the Calabar South area of the state capital.
He said the girl had approached him for money to pay her fares home, but he simply instructed her to follow him to a nearby primary school where he defiled her with his fingers.
Essien said his life became useless after his two sons were bewitched by one of his neighbours.
Essien is currently in the custody of the Criminal Investigation Department of the Cross River State Police Command at Diamond Hill in Calabar and would soon be charged to court.
Narrating how he defiled the little girl to Southern City News on Thursday, Essien said he took Bright to a corner in the primary school and started romancing her before he was caught by a security man.
He said, “It was the handiwork of witches. Someone bewitched my children and my children in turn used what they have been given to affect my life negatively. The person who bewitched my children lives in our compound. What my children are doing with the witchcraft is to ensure that I become useless in life.
