<p class="has-drop-cap">A 13-year-old girl has reportedly been rescued after suffering for years in the hands of her mother who allegedly locked her up in a toilet, torturing and starving her over claims of witchcraft and demonic possession in Oron, Akwa Ibom State.</p>



<p>According to Child’s Rights and Rehabilitation Network (CRARN) the child identified as Mercy Effiong was locked up in a dark toilet by her mother after their church prophet claimed that she was possessed by a demon.</p>



<p>It was gathered that Mercy who was deprived of food and hardly given the needed nutrition, ended up eating her feces at some point to survive.</p>

<p>This is Mercy Effiong, a 13 years old girl who was locked up in a toilet and a dark, isolated room for years before she was rescued to the CRARN Children Centre, Eket, Nigeria.</p>



<p class="has-text-color has-very-dark-gray-color">The mother tortured and neglected her as a result of a spurious claim by her church prophet that she was possessed by a demon<a href="https://occupygh.com/criss-waddle-falls-sick-amidst-coronavirus-in-london">.</a> She was deprived of foods and hardly given the needed nutrition to survive. She ended up eating her own feces at some points to survive.</p>



<p>Consequent to this, Mercy suffered from malnutrition and became badly emaciated and almost died before her rescue.</p>



<p>The cruel manner in which children like this are treated is unheard of, unimaginable and pathetic.</p>



<p>Mercy is from Oron, Akwa Ibom State, the epicenter of children stigmatization. She’s one of few lucky children who have survived this horrific treatment.</p>
