In an interview, Dr. Leo told PM News that persecution of alleged witches should stop, lamenting that there had been several cases children and women suspected to be witches were brutally killed in Nigeria and in some parts of Africa.
According to the Chief Executive Officer of Advocacy for Alleged Witches (AFAW), Dr. Leo Igwe, witchcraft is a myth and does not exist, thus, the act of killing children and others on the premise that they are witches is barbaric and must be stopped.

He said AFAW was planning a
decade of activism against witches persecution in Africa to end the menace,
adding that to realize the objective, the group would engage sharing latest
news on witchcraft allegation/witch persecution, as well as engage state and
non-state actors in the field of witchcraft accusation.
Igwe added that the group
would engage in intervention to protect alleged witches and to educate the
accusers and also lobby local, national and regional and global institution in
