A 12-year-old boy who has been sick for a long time has confessed to being a wizard on his death bed.

The boy, who is suffering from a disease that is yet to be diagnosed, confessed that he was initiated by his mother.

He revealed that she served him a meal with meat soup to initiate him into the craft.

He said: “I had started eating the food when moments later my mum put meat into the bowl and I asked her what kind of meat it was, she responded saying it was chicken. After I had chewed it and drank some water, she then told me it was the flesh of Uncle Joe whom she had killed and whose flesh she had used in preparing the soup. She insisted that I brought my father and little sister for us to kill and chew their meat, but whenever I declined she beat me mercilessly.”

He added: “Whenever she sends me on an assignment and I don’t go, she ties me with a rope spiritually. My father who is well to do is now suffering, whenever he gets money, within three days, my mother syphons the money spiritually. My brother Kelvin and my Uncle, Kwamena were both killed by my mother.”

The boy’s father, who was shocked by his confession, said his son revealed to him that he is sick because he refused to use his father for sacrifice.

He said: “As the boy was not getting any better, I asked him what was really wrong with him, following which he disclosed that he’d been bewitched by his mother and that my he’s been severely beaten by a certain man for refusing to sacrifice me. My son told me he was suffering from strong burning sensation on his body. I want him to reveal all the wrongs they [he and his mother] has done so that he can be exorcised and be free. He has suffered enough.”
