A Danish aid worker in Africa, Anja Ringgren Loven, has rescued a one-year-old girl who was reportedly accused of witchcraft and left to die in a bush in Akwa Ibom State., Nigeria.
Loven, who is the founder of the charity organisation, Land of Hope, shared this information on her Facebook account. She received a call to rescue the little girl who was in a critical condition.
Nsidibe Orok, the Land of Hope Director of Child Development, accompanied the rescue team to the location. Orok was shocked to see the girl in a near-death situation. The girl, who is around one year and a few months old, had been abandoned.
It is common for children to be accused of being witches and they are left to die in bushes. Fortunately, the girl is now safe at Land of Hope foundation.
In 2018, Lovén gained national attention when she saved a starving Nigerian toddler who had been disowned by his family for being a witch. The child grew Healthier and stronger after few years in the care of Loven.
