The nine-year-old boy lay on a bloodstained hospital sheet crawling with ants, staring blindly at the wall. His family pastor had accused him of being a witch, and his father then tried to force acid down his throat as an exorcism.

They should be denouncing this LOUDLY and CLEARLY. This woman Helen Ukpabio should be removed from her position and be standing before a court of law. Get her and those who follow her sickness out of there. They prey on the superstitions, poverty, and lack of education that these people must endure.
I had signed back in July.....my Heart weeps from this atrocious behaviour.

Another murder in the name of Christianity.
Another case of child cruelity at the hands of a sadist who hides behind a robe.

This is not a Jesus driven church.. it is a man made church giving Jesus a bad name. jesus would of healed this little boy and given him love, empathy, and would never of ever left him in this state.. This is probably a church run by false prophets who come in the name of Jesus but underneathe they are full of lies and distortion.. taking away the truth.. Jesus would never ever have condoned this sort of action.. he would of be saddend by what he sees
