Authorities in Calabar are on the hunt for a pastor, Apostle Ubong Bassey Etim, who allegedly killed his 16-year-old daughter after accusing her of being a witch capable of transforming into a snake. The shocking incident, which reportedly occurred on February 15, 2025, has sparked widespread outrage after it was shared on social media.
According to the viral post by user @EduEle5 on X (formerly Twitter), the victim, a child with Down syndrome, was brutally murdered while using the toilet. The suspect’s estranged wife revealed that she had previously fled their home due to domestic violence but had continued to fight for her children’s safety. She is now calling on Nigerians to help ensure justice for her late daughter.
The Cross River State Police Command has launched a manhunt for the suspect and is urging the public to assist in his apprehension. Meanwhile, concerned Nigerians have taken to social media to demand swift action against the pastor and justice for the slain teenager.
