I happen to be in Akwa Ibom right, Oron to be precise and there is a boy between 5/7 yrs abandoned in the village. He claimed to have been brought here by his mother who gave him bread and ask him to wait for her since more than 2 months ago. This little boy is suffering so much and he sleeps in the crayfish market very close to the jetty. the people around claimed he is a wizard that was why they came to drop him to die there and the villagers are very hostile to him and anybody who tries to feed him. I got to know that its a common practice amongs the people here, no matter how young or old a person is, they drive the person out if assumed to be a witch/wizard. I dont know what to do for the boy except buy him food occasionally when the villagers are not watching. I even heard they prosecuted a pastor who always come to the aid of people like this boy, so the man stopped helping. I have tried reaching some child Right Organizations here in Nigeria but yet to recieve any reply.Please if you know anyone in a position to help this boy pls don't hesitate to let me know.
