<p>In Adazi-Ani village, Anaocha Local Government Area, Anambra State, a couple was detained for allegedly starving their 5-year-old daughter out of fear of witchcraft.</p>



<p>The victim&#8217;s parents allegedly stated that a pastor called the youngster a witch, according to a statement released on Thursday, September 7, 2023 by the State Commissioner for Women and Social Welfare, Hon. Ify Obinabo.</p>



<p>Hon. Obinabo warned the perpetrators at her office in Awka that she wouldn&#8217;t let them off the hook and stated that protecting the rights of all children in the state, whether they are state residents or not, is her main responsibility.</p>

<p>Hon. Obinabo recognized Mr. Ikenna Anoliefo&#8217;s efforts in saving the youngster and, where required, raising the alarm, encouraging others to follow in his footsteps.</p>



<p>The suspects, Mr. Michael Wosu, 47, of Rivers State and Mrs. Blessing Michael, 23, of Akwa Ibom, both of whom reside in Adazi-Ani, claimed that they were not to blame for the girl&#8217;s starvation because they were simply following their pastor&#8217;s prophecy that she is a &#8220;witch&#8221; and does not &#8220;deserve to live,&#8221; respectively.</p>



<p>Blessing went on to say that because the little girl kept pooping and peeing on her body, she also made the young girl sleep on a board.</p>



<p>She said that her husband&#8217;s failure was &#8220;responsible&#8221; for the 5-year-old girl.</p>



<p>Michael Wosu, meanwhile, denied knowing about the abuse the youngster had endured.</p>



<p>The accused are still being held by police as of the time this report was submitted, and the survivor is receiving care at an unidentified hospital in Awka.</p>
