Two stolen kids that were rescued by the Cross River State Police Command on Thursday said they were made s*x slaves by a herbalist, Emmanuel Akpan-Okon, who held them hostage for four years.
The kids, Esther Wisdom and Felicia Destiny, both aged 11, said in the four years that they were held hostage, the herbalist raped them almost every day.
Akpan-Okon (42) was arrested by the police following a tip-off that he specialised in the preparation of charms for armed robbers.
The state Commissioner of Police, Mr. Henry Fadairo, said the rescued kids were abducted from their parents separately from Onitsha, Anambra State, and Auchi, Edo State.
He said, “On November 16, 2015, we raided one Emmanuel Akpan’s home in Akamkpa, in the Akamkpa Local Government Area of Cross River State, based on a tip-off. We gathered he was into the preparation of charms for armed robbers and treatment of criminals with bullet wounds.
“During the raid, we saw two little girls in his house. One is Esther Wisdom and the other, Felicia Destiny. They are both 11 years. On enquiry, we found out that they were abducted four years ago. Wisdom was stolen from Onitsha while Destiny was stolen from Auchi.
“We are making efforts to see how we can locate their parents. The victims claimed that he had been having regular s*x with them.”
Destiny said she was in primary four when she was abducted, adding that the herbalist had raped her many times.
