A discovery has been made during a three-day fasting and prayer crusade organised to cleanse the Ngwo community in Enugu State of evil.

According to Vanguard, during the prayer session, it was discovered that a 10-year-old boy was allegedly buried alive by suspected occultic men in Ngwo, Enugu State, after he was allegedly abducted along Independence Layout axis.

However, a Catholic priest from Abia State, Reverend Father Modestus Chilaka, was invited by elders to assist in cleansing the land, rescued the boy.

Meanwhile, the traditional ruler, Ogwugwu Ebenebe 1 of Ameke Ngwo, Igwe Jerome Okolo, said: “I was here and I saw a small boy who was buried alive as a sacrifice.

“The priest said there was such thing happening and they have buried a boy for rituals.

“He prophesied and said he will go there and rescue him. He went and they rescued the boy and brought him to this ground and everybody saw him.”
