What is expected of the Nigerian Government?
The Nigerian government is not expected to fold its arms in the face of the continued persecution of the Nigerian child. We are a signatory to the United Nations convention that guarantees and protects the rights of children. An offshoot of this is the Child Rights Act that was enacted in our country. Evidences abound as to the extent of this evil phenomenon in our country. A state that allows the continued subjugation of a vulnerable arm of its citizenship is not worth being called a nation state. We, therefore, reasonably expect the Nigerian government to mimplement the following: 1/ Urgent in-depth investigations into the activities of Evangelist Mrs Helen Ukpabio and Liberty Foundation Gospel Ministries in view of the manifest breaches of the recently enacted Child Rights Act being perpetuated by this person and organisation mentioned. It is deemed illegal under the Child Rights Act to label any a child a witch, yet Mrs Ukpabio continues to do so in direct violation of this act. 2/
