Hope Reunites With His Mother 7 Years After He Was Branded A Witch & Left To Die by Guyman01: 8:29pm On Sep 06, 2023 |
Taking to her Facebook page on Tuesday, September 5, 2023, Lovén revealed that Hope finally met his mother. A little boy rescued by a Danish aid worker Anja Ringgren Lovén in 2016 after he was branded a witch by his family and left to starve to death in Akwa Ibom has reunited with his mother. Loven was on January 30, 2016 photographed giving water to the severely emaciated 2-year-old boy before rescuing him. The boy had wandered the streets for months when Anja got a phone call and immediately led a rescue team including her husband David Emmanuel Umem, to bring the child to the Children's Education and Development Foundation (ACAEDF) aka “Land of Hope” According to the aid worker, Hope's mother, then a minor, was impregnated by his father, an almost 50 year old Village Head, who chose her as a 'wife'. She gave birth to Hope at the age of 15. Lovén said the entire story involves rape, child labor and abuse, adding that she cannot reveal all the details. She also didn't reveal circumstances that led to the boy being branded a witch and abandoned. Read her post below: David and I finally found Hope´s mother !! https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=pfbid0b17YmQkuzU52oddfc8rzWZ5YN5TvSF8CqTSLP3MyLL6cC4KbKMUg6eUzQTBvJeJgl&id=100044271404682&mibextid=2JQ9oc 20 Likes 3 Shares

A picture can say a thousand words, I can't see any emotional connection between the boy and his supposed mother, please don't send that boy to those wicked people before they tag him wizard this time. Next thing his father will reappear and try to use his popularity to cash out and lie about how he was deceived by a fake Pastor which is rampant in Akwa Ibom and Cross River states to tag the innocent boy a witch 271 Likes 25 Shares |

I remember seeing this on the news somewhere... This woman doesn't deserve to be reunited with this beautiful boy after everything she put him through... If it wasn't for that woman who rescued him, he'd have been dead by now and she wouldn't care. When she ran away to Lagos, she could've taken him along. 102 Likes 8 Shares |

I still do not understand why Hope is to be given back to the mother. Is she herself well and able to care for him now? It has only been, what, 7 years and she is only in her early to mid-20s. Is she able to afford her care along with that of her two kids? ![]() 58 Likes 4 Shares |

What a story! There is obviously more to this than meets the eye. Anja is nobody's fool, so for her to allow a reunion between mother and child means that Hope's mother has a tangible defence for being absent when the child was abused and abandoned to die. Thank God for his mercies 16 Likes |

It took a woman from Poland to show us how to cherish human lives. People watching the documentary in Poland will probably think we are still monkeys with tail dangling behind us seeing such barbaric behaviors from us. We still have a long way to go! 127 Likes 9 Shares |

If they leave her with that boy, she will abandon him again. I wonder why they even reunited her with the child when she decided to save herself in the first place and left the boy to die from starvation and diseases on the streets. She doesn't deserve that child. Kobojunkie: 34 Likes |

Akwa Ibom state government over the years, remains complicit. Till this day, I am yet to read or see the parading, prosecution and imprisonment of those fake prophets who brand children witches nor the families who abandon those kids. Social workers from their Ministry of woman affairs and social welfare are certainly doing little or nothing in that regard. 48 Likes 6 Shares |

Till this day, innocent children are brandished as witches or wizard in Akwa Ibom. The boy should not be given to the mother, she should be penalized for her atrocities. She does not deserve to be called a mother. Fucking stupid bitch that opened her legs to be fvcked 5 Likes 2 Shares |

Na dem and their barbaric cultural norm and religion. Imagine first Born inheriting his father's wives aka his mother due to one evil tradition. While also disinheriting his sister's and mothers on the premise that women don't inherit but can inherit child birth and domestic work. We dey laugh oooooo 7 Likes |

Most Oyibo people are not too religious but they they are godly. Most Africans are too religious but not godly. When you are godly, you love but when you are too religious like the Pharisees, you lack love. Most African are Pharisee-like but most Oyibo people are Christ-like. That's the difference. 33 Likes 1 Share |

Our Problems is Simply Lack of "Reasonableness" ... A Child Suffering Genetic Disorder or Mental Disorder is a Witch Child A Woman Suffering from Severe Abuses & Depressions leading to Mental Retardation is Brandished Witch & to be Deserted .... Heightened Hyperemotions Inhibiting Reasonableness & Lack of Maturities due to Warring With Civilisations as well as Chronic Level of Stubbornness(Refusal to Change) is the Bane of African...

So a 50 year old took in a 15 year old as wife, put her in the family way and looked away, but not in the north. Let’s pretend that wasn’t noticed. 8 Likes 1 Share |
