'Apostle' Helen Ukpabio, the founder of Liberty Foundation Gospel
Ministries based in Calabar, has been
deported from the UK by the British government after deeming her
presence in the country a risk to youngsters. (Modupe Ariyo is the
Executive Director of Africa Unite Against Child Abuse)
The 'witch hunter' who wrote in her book ‘Unveiling The Mysteries of Witchcraft’, that "If a child under the age of two screams in the night, cries and
is always feverish with deteriorating health he or she is a servant of
Satan", was deported last week after campaigners called on UK Home
Secretary to deport and ban her from the UK for leading the spread of
witch hunting in Nigeria, especially amongst children, some of whom have
suffered torture and even killed. (Read that here)
Helen, who was in the UK on tour to promote her
belief in witchcraft and offer help to those ‘under threat’ from the
wizardry, was not only deported, there are also reports that she has been banned from entering the UK until further notice.
