Two year old boy from Nigeria was found starving and naked after being abandoned for eight months by his parents on the allegations that he was a wizard.

According to reports the boy identified as Hope was found “emaciated and riddled with worms after being forced to live off scraps of food thrown to him by passersby for eight months”.

The young boy was rescued by Anja Ringgren Loven, founder of African Children’s Aid Education and Development Foundation.

She then posted on Facebook, “Thousands of children are being accused of being witches and we’ve both seen torture of children, dead children and frightened children.”

She later demanded that the young boy’s parents need to explain to the world how a two year old boy could have bewitched people.

“The parents and the community made fools out of themselves with undeserved consequences on the part of the young boy. This is a sickening story and one hopes the madness does not spread. Toddlers do not bewitch people!” she lamented.
