Chief amongst the apostles of this child abuse is Evangelist Helen Ukpabio, the General Overseer of the inappropriately named Liberty Foundation Gospel Ministries, which she says has over 150 branches in Nigeria. Helen Ukpabio says she has a cast-iron formula for catching child witches, an operative manual for parents who need to know that their bundles of joy are not exactly what they seem. Her findings are recorded in a bestselling book where she proclaims that the key signs in identifying these children whom she describes as servants of Satan are crying and screaming at night, high fever and general poor health! It does not matter to Ukpabio that these children are being born in a society with very poor record of antenatal, gynaecological, paediatric and primary health care. It does not matter to her that these symptoms can be found in any child for any reason (other than witchcraft) at any time in a nation where the vast majority of the people live on less than a dollar a day and where all sorts of environmental and health hazards abound everywhere

Thanks Ken for bringing this forward again...the message is as clear as daylight.

Often you hear people say the church must clean up its act and call its rogue fringe to order, but really it’s Caesar that must rise to claim his due, because God, the Almighty Father, the all-knowing, omnipotent Lord can take care of Himself. And yes, Caesar did speak. In a news report in the Punch of Tuesday, 25th of November, 2008, the Federal Government through the Nigerian High Commission in faraway London said all there is to say about the unacceptability of this practice. But it’s not about statements; it’s about action! Every religion-feeding criminal featured in that programme ought to have been picked up by now to face the full wrath of the law. If we have no values at all, we should at least have one for young lives, otherwise we all go extinct! Thus, Helen Ukpabio and her band of fear-mongers preying on the people's susceptibility to dangerous superstition, destroying families and communities, must be stopped now! The state cannot outsource this duty to “religious bodies” as implied by the Federal Government’s statement, because Caesar without his force is as good as a dog without its teeth
