The University of Nigeria has withdrawn the approval for the use of its Energy Center for the academic conference on witchcraft scheduled to hold next week
The director of the centre notified the conference organizers of the development, amidst opposition by Christian students and the Christian Association of Nigeria against the conference.
The conference is the brainchild of the B.I.C Ijomah Centre for Policy and Research. It is a pure academic exercise, not a real meeting of witches and wizards, the center said, shocked by the uninformed reaction of Christian students and CAN.
