A Nigerian witchdoctor was arrested after he told a documentary film crew he had killed 110 possessed children.
Bishop Sunday Ulup-Aya was arrested on the Atlantic coast, along with six other suspects, after he claimed he had killed 110 children he believed were possessed by evil spirits. He told this to a TV documentary crew. Nigeria is well-known for its superstitious population and savage witchdoctor trade. The OddBlog has been covering such crimes in and around the region since its inception.
Upon his arrest, police found two children being held for "deliverance," as well as fetish items. No corpses were found. Many children end up being trafficked once separated from their families for "religious" reasons. Others are killed.
"I am not denying that I am a witchdoctor, but what I killed are witches in my patients with herbs, not children," Ulup-Aya told police.
