A one-year-old girl who was reportedly accused of witchcraft and left to die in a bush in Akwa Ibom State has been rescued by a Danish aid worker, Anja Ringgren Loven.
Loven, who is the founder of the charity organisation, Land of Hope, disclosed this in a post on her Facebook account on Thursday.
She wrote, “Yesterday, we received a call in a village to rescue a little girl in a very critical condition.
“Land of Hope Director of Child Development, Nsidibe Orok, went with our rescue team to the location.
“Orok was surprised when he saw the girl in a near death situation. She is said to be one year and a few months old. The girl was abandoned.
“Children who are accused of being witches are usually abandoned to die in bushes. The girl is now at Land of Hope.”
