Nigerian Boy Hope Reunites With His Father Six Years After He Was Called A Witch And Left To Starve To Death
On January 30, 2016, Danish relief worker Anja Ringgren Lovén was pictured providing water to a critically malnourished 2-year-old kid, whom she saved after he was branded a witch by his family and left to starve to death in Akwa Ibom.
The boy had walked the streets for months when Anja got a phone call and promptly led a rescue party including her husband David Emmanuel Umem, to transport the child to the Children’s Education and Development Foundation (ACAEDF) called “Land of Hope”.
On Monday, August 1, 2022, she posted on Facebook page saying Hope eventually met his father couple days ago after six years.
The charity worker stated parent so Hope are divorced, but, she didn’t divulge circumstances that led to the child being labelled a witch and deserted.
