Nigerian 'witch doctor’ claims to have killed 110 'possessed' children

Rights campaigners say “witch doctors” in some parts of the country convince parents that their children are possessed and will bring misfortune such as divorce or disease.

The fraudulent doctors then extort money from the frightened parents to perform exorcisms, campaigners say.

Some children fall into the hands of child trafficking networks after being handed over by their parents, the charities claim.

Bishop Sunday Ulup-Aya, arrested in Mbo, close to the Atlantic coast, with six other suspects, had claimed in a documentary to have killed 110 children beset by evil spirits, said Aniekan Umanah, the commissioner for information in the southeastern state of Akwa Ibom.

“I am not denying that I am a witchdoctor, but what I killed are witches in my patients with herbs, not children,” Mr Ulup-Aya said while in detention.

Akwa Ibom is one of Nigeria’s top oil-producing states, but poverty is pervasive and many residents are superstitious. The state has the highest incidence of child-trafficking in Africa’s most populous nation.

Sam Ikpe-Ituama, whose group Child Rights Rehabilitation Network is spearheading the rescue of children accused of witchcraft in the state, said Mr Ulup-Aya may be part of a network of human traffickers.

“No corpses were discovered in his church, but two kids held captive for supposed deliverance, as well as some fetish items, were taken from there by the police,” said Mr Ikpe-Ituama, who led a security team that raided the building.

I don't believe that these people really believe that they just kill demons, I think parents sell their excess spawns to 'witch doctors'. Too bad they don't have welfare in Africa.

Are you serious?

The ignorance of certain people have no limits.

I suppose some of them might be just dumb enough to believe these stories.

Average Nigerian IQ: 67
America: 98 (remember lots of blacks here dragging down the average)
Germany: 107

That's why the Africans were called savages.

I saw the documentary they are talking about.

I don't know how the witch doctor decides who is possessed. But

The "church ministers" pick a child randomly from the audience and say they are possessed.   They also scare people into coming to church, by saying that if they don't come, they will be possessed.  As soon as the church minister points the finger and says somebody is possessed, that's it. The child is ruined  .  He is beaten, tortured, even killed.

It's not like these children are acting strange at all either. They rae just sitting in the church, the church minister says they are possessed, the mother is in disbelief, the child is in disbelief.. and terror..  They don't have to show any signs at all, it's just the church minister abusing his absolute power striking fear into people, no doubt to get money out of them and be treated well himself.

That's what happens in places like Nigeria. The more intelligent ones screw everybody else to enrich themselves.

They live only thanks to welfare the "evil white man" is giving them. Besides those children sold out outside this hellhole called subsaharan Africa are the lucky ones.
