Concern Over Inhuman Practices and Satanic Worship in Nigeria and other African Countries
Our organization is concerned over the recent developments in Anambra State, particularly, the gruesome discovery of over 70 openly displayed human dead bodies at various levels of decomposition by the Nigerian police at a local deity shrine in Okija, Ihiala Local Government Area, Anambra State, Nigeria, the same shrine visited by the State Governor to perform rituals, in order to gain support and political position.

It is a pleasure writing on behalf of Africans In America, Inc. (AIA) a human rights, advocacy and non-profit organization dedicated to end the abuse of survivors of human trafficking, especially women and girl children from Africa living in the United States.
Our organization is concerned over the recent developments in Anambra State, particularly, the gruesome discovery of over 70 openly displayed human dead bodies at various levels of decomposition by the Nigerian police at a local deity shrine in Okija, Ihiala Local Government Area, Anambra State, Nigeria, the same shrine visited by the State Governor Dr. Chris N. Ngige to perform rituals, in order to gain support and political position.
We are particularly concerned that the governor - a Medical Doctor by training, while seeking governorship post allegedly went with some individuals to the deity where you reportedly striped, swore oath of obedience to the secret cult and performed other rituals.
We are particularly concerned that he admitted visiting the shrine and the nature of the ritual(s) you allegedly performed at the Okija deity. We are deeply concerned about the rumors that human being(s) may have been sacrifice as part of the rituals.
In view of the fact that, in majority of the cases, victims of ritual sacrifice are normally children and poor individuals and may also be victims of human trafficking, we are deeply concerned.
Some of human trafficking cases here in New York originated from Anambra State, Nigeria.
In view of the fact that many deaths in institutions of higher education in Anambra State, and other states in Nigeria are blamed on cult activities, we are concerned at the implication of high-level public office holderÂ’s involvement in this nefarious and satanic practice.
In view of the fact that State Governors are the Chief Security Officers, and hence responsible for safety of lives and properties in the states, we are very deeply concerned.
We want to note that when the news of Governor Dr. Chris N. Ngige's alleged kidnapping on July 10, 2003 broke out, our partner organization Freedom and Justice International, Inc. wrote him to show sympathy and support, contacted various world leaders to raise awareness on his ordeals and injustices going on in Anambra State. We publicly admonished his alleged ‘oppressors’ (including President Obasanjo) and also awarded the governor a plague during a visit to New York in November 2003.
Little did we know of what was in stock.
Therefore, we are calling on the African leadership to rid the continent of such evil and satanic practices and embrace modern science and technology to move the society forward.
