KILLING OF TWINS IN FCT 101 YEARS AFTER MARY SLESSOR ABOLISHED IT IN CALABAR

What fear would make a mother give out her 4 days old baby to a recue home? What can make a mother pray against the benevolence of nature, so as not to give birth to adorable twins? This is the fear of a people located in Gbangede, Kwali Area Council of the FCT where infanticide and twins killing is practiced on large scale.

Twins are adorable beings which numerous families around the world wish for but in the culture of some FCT indigenes twins are not adorable instead, they are considered as evil and not worthy of living. It is believed that when a woman gives birth to twins, such twins should be put to death. The process of killing them varies; they might decide to euthanize the twins to death by giving the twins concoction which is specifically brewed for such cases. According to experience the concoction is so lethal to the extent that even when the twins were rescued by a rescue home and properly diagnosed nothing was said to be medically wrong with them but after sometime they would start vomiting, depreciation and shrinking until they die. There was a true life situation were a twin who was given such concoction, narrowly survived after one year of intensive medical care.

The second method is used in rare cases when the mother of the twins reluctantly refuses to release her twins to the gods. The community will invite a masquerade (names Putoci) which according to their culture must not be seen by a woman, this masquerade enters the woman’s homestead, due to her belief she runs out leaving her child, then the masquerade then picks the child. The masquerade is said to strangle the twins with a rope and then goes to bury their bodies in the forest.

After the killing of twin their wrath is heavily visited on any child born after the twins because they are of the belief that the third child sent the twins into the world, so the third child is severely dealt with.

Another barbaric practice is that of infant sacrifice practiced by this community. This is a story of a girl named Joy who was rescued from the practice of human sacrifice in 1995 after her father had used four (4) of her elderly ones as sacrifice to their gods for good farm harvest, out of fear of the girl been used too, her mother cried out to the rescue home (who visited the village regularly) to take the girl and keep her safe. Joy is now of age and is in the University.

On the 27th of April 2014 we the Nigerian Federation of Catholic Student (N.F.C.S) University of Abuja chapter visited the rescue home known as Heritage Vine Rescue Home in Kiyi, Kuje Area Council of the Federal Capital Territory which was situated previously in Dagiri, Gwagwalada Town to celebrate their Easter with the kids with such predicament.

This rescue home is basically focused on rescuing children ranging from four (4) days, four (4) month, and six (6) months depending on the situation. When the family or community decides that these children should be murdered, the home collects these children who have been sentenced to death majorly through persuasion and pleading. They do not use force but diplomacy, because any use of unorganized force or threat will make the community retreat more into the interior thereby abandoning their present home for a farther place. The people push further into the bush as civilization and development comes closer to them.

According to verified statistics, there are more the 30 villages in the FCT (Gwagwalada, Kwali & Kuje) Area Council, Abuja were barbaric traditions are been practiced with impunity under the very nose of the government and year in year out it still persists and lives of innocent children are being lost.

I am using this medium to call on the government of the affected Area Councils to re-invest their time meaningful on project like this because everyone is specially made by God for a purpose in life.

You are really going to convince me with a more sophisticated video in other for me to believe. How come we are hearing it now ? And it's coming from some backend blogger ?

Jesus

why is Africa backward and primitive

I smell a desperate newspaper/ blogger looking for traffic. Why are we just hearing about it now, with the rate at which our media houses are looking for news to report they would have stumbled upon this for long

Eledumare oooo!!!!

Am speechless!

END TIME TRADITION

my people perish for lack of knowledge,to think such is happening in the 'fct' of all places.

Hmm mm

oga o...Africa with their silly mentality. everybody in these communities are callous, so this cruel act has been happening in front nose of the government and people keep silent?


and some so called elites are living there too o.


if u try this in our Lagos...they will burn u like ileya ram ni

@Op, are u saying this is still happening or happened in this our generation?

What

Negroes

Babaric

Please the title of dis movie

N nice FOR physics tutorials at university level

just when you thought you've seen and heard it all

But y are dey soo wicked? May God forgive us in Nigeria ooo

Many smart guys in Abuja set up NGOs which is used to get money from abroad while portraying these stories as widespread.
In the FCT, Christianity especially ECWA Church and Islam are inherent in most communities of Gbagi, Gade, Gwandara, Ganagana who are the core original inhabitants and I dont know of any area with undiscovered people or communities.
This is the kind of story that CNN, BBC sell abroad as discovery documentaries.
Tell me the name of the community in FCT and I will go and ask the Etsu (traditional Ruler) if it is true and stop accusing the neglected hardworking inhabitants of FCT of bestiality. I doubt any place like Gbangede exist in Kwali.
That masquerade is called 'Potochi' and they are not known to sacrifice twins; ask any Gbagi around

Is this for real?if yes something should be done asap

End time things

Hmmm

Under the nose of our Governments.......Pls something should be done to put an end to this foolishness.....May God save us in Nigeria..

In this civilized world?

Don't think so
