In a shocking case of child abuse and neglect, a couple in Anambra State was arrested for starving their 5-year-old daughter over alleged witchcraft.

While the specific details of this case are still emerging, it is yet another example of the ongoing problem of child abuse and the accusations of witchcraft that often accompany such incidents.

Child abuse is a serious problem in Nigeria, with an estimated 4.2 million children facing some form of physical, emotional, or sexual abuse each year.
