The 1978-79 Akpan Ekwong Anti-Witchcraft Crusade in Nigeria
Abstract
La dernière croisade contre la sorcellerie au Nigeria a eu lieu en 1978-79. Elle a été conduite par Akpan Ekwong, et elle a reçu un fort appui populaire. Des confessions obtenues au cours de cette croisade ont révélé que les sorciers font voeu de garder le secret, qu'ils ont des noms secrets pour leurs réunions nocturnes, qu'il y a deux types de sorcellerie - noire et blanche, et que les sorciers sont inités en avalant une certaine substance. Cette croisade, comme d'autres, a été entreprise parce qu'on blamait la sorcellerie d'être la cause de difficultés auxquelles les Ibidio se sont heurtés.
