Danish aid worker, Anja Ringgren Lovén has reacted to a viral video of Nigerians filming a child accused of being a witch in a community.
Lovén has rescued dozens of children branded as witches, tortured and abandoned by their families in Akwa Ibom State.
The video making the rounds online shows a child in a visibly disturbing condition, appearing malnourished and neglected.
According to claims accompanying the video, “the child witch with an adult face, who disguised as a bird, fell from a tree”
Reacting to the video, Lovén slammed the adults for not helping the child who is clearly in need, reiterating her stance that children are not witches.
“I have saved this video as evidence for everyone standing around not helping an innocent child in desperate need for help !!!! Each and every one of you are guilty !!! I will make sure your faces are shared around the world !!! This is NOT a witch !! This is an innocent CHILD !!! A HUMAN BEING!!!!,” she wrote.
