CFI Representative Sued by Witch Hunter

The Center for Inquiry has launched a campaign to counter that danger and now is being sued in Nigerian court by one of that country's barbaric witch hunters.

CFI's man on the ground in Nigeria for this campaign is Leo Igwe and he's the one being sued by witch hunter Helen Ukpabio, pastor of the terribly misnamed Liberty Gospel Church in Nigeria.
