African Leaders
Are Involved In Ritualistic Human Sacrifice
Nigeria’s
Ngige Saga is a wake-up call New York, November 15, 2004—Following
the admission of Governor Chris Ngige of Anambra State, Nigeria
that he went and performed rituals at a fetish shrine in Okija,
Anambra State, the same shrine police later raided and discovered
over 70 openly displayed human dead bodies at various levels
of decomposition, Africans In America, Inc., a human rights advocacy
organization committed to end abusive treatment of victims of
human trafficking in New York wish to make the following statements: We are particularly shocked that Governor
Chris Ngige, a medical doctor by training admitted visiting the
satanic shrine to perform rituals in order to get political position
and power. We are deeply concerned about unconfirmed
reports that innocent and defenseless human being(s) may have
been sacrifice as part of the rituals. We are deeply
concerned because in majority of other cases involving Africa,
example ‘Otokoto’ in
Nigeria and ‘Boy Adams’ in Britain, victims of ritual
sacrifice are normally; 1. Victims of human trafficking 2. Children 3. Poor individuals Some of the cases of human trafficking
we have here in New York originated from Anambra State (Nnobi
town to be precise). We are concerned
at the implication of high-level public office holder’s
involvement in this nefarious and satanic practice in view
of the fact that many deaths in institutions of higher education
in Anambra and other states, many mysterious deaths in other
places in Nigeria are blamed on satanic cult activities. 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. When the news
of the governor’s
alleged abduction on July 10, 2003 broke out and he raised alarm
and requested for help, our partner organization Freedom and
Justice International, Inc. wrote him to show sympathy and support,
contacted various world leaders to raise awareness on the alleged
maltreatment of the governor 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.
Little did we know of involvement in human sacrifice and satanic
worships. In a democracy people have the right
to ask question from their leadership and get answers. Therefore,
we are requesting Governor Chris Ngige to give full disclosure
of his participation in satanic practices and its relationship
with human trafficking. Such disclosure will assist to contain
the problem. Human sacrifice
and satanic worships must never be allowed to become a part
of ‘home-grown-democracy’ in
Nigeria and other African countries. The collusion of Africans leaders, government
officials and highly influential people in human trafficking,
slavery and satanic worship is one of the major reasons which
makes eradication of these scourge very difficult. 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. Related Articles: Thursday, August 5, 2004
