Nigerian Facebook User Posts Graphic Photos Of Female Circumcision... See Photos by NigeriaGIST(m): 2:51pm On Jan 14, 2018
As shared by CNN, A Nigerian man has caused outrage after he posted graphic pictures on Facebook showing children apparently being circumcised.
The man, who calls himself Alhaji Adebayo, posted the images on January 3, along with text offering free female circumcision in Ilorin, Kwara State, central Nigeria.

Nigerians left comments criticizing him on social media and urged him to take down the post, which he later did.
Female genital mutilation (FGM) is illegal in Nigeria but there has not been a single conviction, campaigners say.

Adebayo posted on his Facebook page on January 4 that he had been visited by campaigners from anti-FGM groups.
In the post, he said: "They made me realize the disadvantages and implication in doing mutilation for (the) female child."
"I urge every parent to put an end to the female circumcision...because of (the) problems that might come out from there later in the future," he added.

Adebayo, who describes himself as a self-employed building contractor, did not respond to CNN's request for an interview.
One of the anti-FGM campaigners who visited Adebayo told CNN that he was running an unregistered charity which subsidizes male and female circumcision rates for low-income parents. Some of them paid him as little as 500 naira ($1.50), the campaigner said.
Jolaoluwa Aina, of EndCuttingGirls, said: "Most rich people in most families in the area do it for others as a form of charity.
"The ones (cutters) I met had identification cards and belonged to an association."

Aina also said Adebayo claimed he did not know the practice was illegal and promised to scrap his program.
She added that they visited other local FGM practitioners and informed them about the dangers of cutting young girls.

What do you guys think about this?
