Two Non-Governmental Organisations, the Community Initiative for Peace and Social Development (CIPSD) and Foundation for Partnership Initiatives in the Niger Delta (PIND) have come together to fight against the branding of people as witches in Cross River communities.
Charles Itu, the programme director of CIPSD, said this on Monday during an interview with journalists in Calabar on the coalition’s activities.
Mr Itu said the stigmatisation of individuals, particularly aged persons and children, as witches was becoming worrisome and should be tackled.
