He managed to say he is from Akai Ubium in Akwa Ibom State and was in a prayer house where he was bathed with hot oil mixed leaves and other concoctions.
His ears are stuffed with the concoction which he was also forced to drink to
exorcise him of a phantom and flimsy witchcraft spell. He seems badly exhausted and speaks slowly as if he’s suffocated and has breath difficulty and hearing impairment
He could not respond to questions and blinks his eyes intermittently with dazed and confused state. He’s about seven years of age and goes by the name Sampson.
That’s is the fate of thousands of children in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria. To support Sampson and abandoned children.
This has been a recurring decimal in Akwa Ibom.

If yes! Has Jesus not defeated the power of darkness for your sake?
