Fetching updates...CFI in Nigeria suffers violence, now a lawsuit
December 8, 2009
African witch hunter Helen Ukpabio, head of the Liberty Gospel Church in Nigeria and a frequent target of criticism by CFI, has filed a lawsuit in Nigerian federal court against Leo Igwe, CFI’s representative in Nigeria.
The Center for Inquiry (CFI), an international organization that fights for science and reason, launched an anti-superstition campaign in May 2009 to highlight and combat the abuse of alleged child witches throughout the African continent. The IHEU posts the video of the attack on Igwe’s meeting by about two hundred members of Ukpabio’s Liberty Gospel Church.
