Sitting on the floor was a terrified, near naked girl of eight, her head shaven. She cowered as her mother and a pastor shouted at her.

This was an exorcism, the pastor told us. The mother's marriage had broken down, it was the child's fault as she was possessed with Kindoki.

Something had been rubbed into the girl's eyes as part of this ritual. Her ordeal had already lasted three days, and there was another 24 hours to go.

The pastor dismissed the risk the child could die from such treatment. He said: "Why should the child die? If the child dies, it means the child is evil."

As we left, Mr Kitoko earnestly asked if we might know anybody who would sponsor him to open a clinic in Britain.

Good luck with that, you piece of slug shit.

This appears to be an example of superstition overiding logic. :worried:

The name for that phenomenon is "Religion"

Well, if a marriage breaks down, a wife has noone weaker than herself to blame except her child. Her husband for sure ain't taking it any more.
