In Akwa Ibom, a one-year-old girl was found abandoned in the bush after being accused of witchcraft.
Anja Ringgren Loven, a humanitarian from Denmark, shared the harrowing incident on Facebook on Thursday, March 28th. The little girl was severely ill when discovered, prompting Anja’s team to rush to the village upon receiving a distress call.
Upon arrival, they found the young child in a dire state, left alone due to the superstition that deems children as witches in the region. Determined to save her, Anja and her team transported the girl to the Land of Hope, a sanctuary where they provide care for vulnerable children.
Anja took to social media to appeal for financial assistance to cover the girl’s medical expenses, highlighting the urgent need for support in such critical situations.
