I am highly disappointed that the government of Nigeria is attempting to downplay the rooting out of witches in Africa instead of making the hunting of them an official biblical policy. 
Exodus 22:18 Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.
Why is it so hard for Christians everywhere to understand this simple statement?
Nigerian governor says abuse of child 'witches' exaggerated
A Nigerian governor said on Monday that reports of child abuse associated with witchcraft in his state are greatly exaggerated. Akwa Ibom State Gov. Godswill Akpabio spoke after CNN aired a story that found evidence of children being accused of practicing black magic. Some of the children had been beaten, burned with boiling water and showed scars that appeared to be from being cut with machetes. Other children said they were cast out of their homes.
"Like I said, it's a very, very minimal situation," said Akpabio about the incidence of witchcraft-related abuse in Akwa Ibom.
Since being elected, the governor said he has been aware of the issue and has taken steps to rectify it.
He said he signed a bill into law in 2008 that makes it a criminal offense, punishable by up to 15 years in prison, to label a child a witch.
