The Bayelsa State Police Command has arrested a 42 – year – old father , Sunday Otasi , for allegedly killing two of his sons with a poisonous substance , identified to be ‘ Sniper ’, over suspicion of witchcraft .

The third son , however , narrowly escaped death and is in a critical condition after he escaped from the bush, where his father and his younger brother had tied the three of them to trees.

Otasi, who hails from Agbobiri -Okodia in the Yenagoa Local Government Area of Bayelsa State, was said to have taken his three sons, Success , 14 ; Miracle, 12 ; and Godstime , 10 , to a bush along Glory Drive Road , Igbogene, Yenagoa.

He was said to have tied them to trees with the help of his younger brother , Levai Ayah , and forced them to drink the poisonous substance .
It was learnt that the three children got into trouble with their father in September last year when a Yenagoa – based prophet , George Odoko , of the George Odoko Outreach Ministries , told Otasi that his children were wizards and were responsible for his illness .
