Nigeria: Albinos Endangered

18 November 2008

Albinos are facing extinction in Tanzania because they have become the prime targets of ritual killers. Raising the alarm is the Albino Foundation in Nigeria led by Mr Jake Epelle. It has expressed its anger in a letter to the Tanzanian high commissioner in Nigeria. While the foundation is seeking albinos' protection in Tanzania, it is also creating safety awareness among the white-skinned persons in Nigeria.

But it's not only albinos that are endangered in parts of black Africa where ignorance and occultism manifest in diabolical beings. Hunchbacks and virgin girls have reportedly been kidnapped and murdered by occultists and their agents. Normal persons have also been killed and parts of their body removed. Nobody should pretend that such things do not happen: evil men seeking political offices, contracts or riches do offer human sacrifice to their gods.
