setbacks and does job only have what it takes to beat. special come on just. hello and welcome again to rewind i'm laura. in this series we're revisiting some of the best documentaries on al-jazeera english since we launched more than a decade ago back in 2013 the people in power series traveled to west africa to expose the shocking story of how young gone and children were being murdered

because of the mistaken belief they were possessed by evil spirits no one knows the exact numbers of these ritual deaths across gonna need became a fast so and parts of nigeria but some believe it could be in the thousands the killing of these so-called spirits children is the consequence of ancient customs shaped by ignorance and poverty in this compelling program award winning gone an investigative reporter and the last r m a o n a s used hidden cameras to bring some of those behind these killings to justice from 2013 his spirit child some west african communities have branded children born deformed or with disabilities as evil spirits see him as a drain on limited resources. to perform rituals and prepare poisonous concoctions to kill them thousands of defenseless children have been made this week. my name

is a mass area and mass i am an investigative reporter because of the work i do i never show my face. i've come to norm being done now to investigate disparate child phenomena food is scarce here even children must wait for the family to. mount a long grey season has come all families move into the big city looking for work or to sell the animals. living on the edge of survival the birth of a disabled child is greatly feared it's seen as a terrible burden on their family an extra month to feet their child won't be able to help in their field and neither will its mother who will have to devote the precious time to it out of this fear and tradition has gone they believe that such a child is a spiritual and evil presence that must be destroyed before it threatens the survival of the family it doesn't even need to be disabled him a child in a family where things are going wrong can be branded as evil and when this happens

all this in the community known as compulsion mean paul didn't poison the child. through. a marked up or. is it in the shape. that hugely. emotional. electronically. him oh. well. how did all. abuse. i'm ok but. who are. you my lad for my man of. my mid. i don know how to solve that i'm

a decent if you can. buy thing lazy city done a u.t. . and. i'm heading for a place known locally as they will forests because the bodies of spiritual ruin have been buried here for centuries. this story is here only indication to show that evil children were varied here the concoction men had their bodies under the stones to prevent us from digging them up this forest remains green and still standing because the local people are afraid they are scared that the evil forest would eat them up local and jews have often used dialogue to talk to community members to stop this practice advocacy has been successful to some extent but has not been able to eradicate this from the community. we are in

a more democratic than now law enforcement must take over to stamp out this once and for all but we can't find any record of anyone ever been arrested for what can only be described as a dreadful crime i've come to police headquarters in bogotá than that to meet their original commander and fame out why it is the very difficult thing to do it is a very difficult thing to do even if you good information one is know where it is happening who are behind and who in current events so you can mount machine and good and it's unfortunate we have no idea why this is happening who are behind over these and why or this why the of morgan obviously. it is being done on the quiet and you never know. if the police can find everything maybe i can my plan is to find some concoction men to invent a so-called problem child and see if they will diagnose it as an evil spirit then i

am to catch them in the act of trying to poison it a colleague has agreed to let us use coffee is 18 month old son to play the part of my spirit job when they come to do the deed but obviously i can't risk his life so at the last moment we will be straight with the contents of this suit a similar looking of a child made from selected by a movie props company in london. shortly so she can feel. my 1st step is to integrate into the community i'm moving to see the historical heartland of this bridge you know me where i have rented this property. would separate buildings and 2 entrances it's perfect for my plant. in 3 weeks of investigation i've already met 14 individuals spread over an area the size of libya from nodding their head to neighboring booking. person who admittedly

did kill spirit children before him of this said they were willing to poison my chops now it's time to do a deal with one of them a broker who had set the globe i've told him that he's my son was born nothing has gone right for him without a lot of money and make us have broken down now we are meeting to make the final arrangements. to lend it up. he learned to use. a lever cantata connla. we take you at that extent about 2 and more time that i'm. doing really good you. must pack it in and allow you. to do what. i was told. morning. because it worked perfectly. thank.

god i'm broke. but you know you won't be gone for ted. what the d.c. happened to the sting a little bit but the bones aren't part of it without you you know you could. be noble a bunk 10 we're talking all are gonna love you some moves i know this a little been built up putting a car loan. in your beautician i want to do you view shit man lap. because you're going to attack. it agree to a $230.00. 2 simple one. wally you sat. down and you. family who looks. now as.

the clock. now we have the oracles blessed and the broker agrees to contact them and to prepare a poisonous concoction and administer it to my son a child's life has now been sold for 40 us don't last 3 files i'm deeply shocked at this been for a while then does have become a necessity to a plot to madam i tell you. of the cylinder deal with the broker and moving on to the neighboring province of will meet with another who said be willing to kill myself this time i'm dealing directly with the medicine man and from what i have

had more than read they don't know anyone in. the. lab. but. i mean when or. how they go on. i want to. go right. up by. one of. them one of my will read about the end. i think that will hand it to you like a dog thought it one of being there do you know who got there when and then never did you see about it yet i was letting the animal. i don't want to.

men will impose depend on them and i doubt bhagat as anyone with the just lance led leader and i think the plaza and i probably have a lot. doing what i saw in the. last. year going to bring it out the month before. and then being that yeah i can get by when i said that i had to log on to take a look of what he called buzz on what i think company is on you to be to live in the house to be stranded in a computer is definitely. go back to you having young and. no you invited 2 groups of men to come to my rented property. and minister to my.

their medicine man's group shuttle for fares then in the morning they broke for the afternoon what they don't know is that look up police offices will be hidden away in one of the buildings watching on t.v. one it is but 1st i need to prepare the house to receive them. as dawn breaks the next morning the police arrive and back to save distance from the house. officers will be monitoring every moment of their activities while 2 police in uniform will wait by the vehicle ready to take anyone arrested into class that. he is also now with us in men we believe our story we move over to the house in twos and threes to avoid arousing suspicion. seem is now one and the. 6 plainclothes police officers and the baby is time to bring in and place it on

a makeshift bed in the secretes camera room. is now ready to take place at the last minute. 3 of he says the cup was asians while the officer and his 2 remaining colleagues sit in the money to move. from here keep patient vigil and be ready to move in the moment their concoction men intend to kill. suddenly we had the medicine man and his accomplice approach. i think they met. some man and his i promptly inside the house showed them their real child.

suddenly with immense cement leaning obama feet i'm never about he sifts they clearly have no qualms about killing him. and it gets wes when the demand of. bringing him outside for them to inspect is sickening but i need them to believe i am ready to follow through if my plan is going to work out and the time that it. tick tick tick. tick tick tick.

tick. days no way i'm leaving to feed there with them for a 2nd is them to get him to safety. i fuss him through the window and into the secure arms of awaits him police officer. there met some men build a fire and well some roots be dug up this morning to create a deadly brew. and . i'm. finally ready to admin is that a concoction. we make our way into

the bedroom where de demand i handle by the child they still don't know it's a replica thank. you. to. you on the wrist young not obliged to see anything unless you wish to see that's what i see you keep you down and begin you know you dance to no fault of law against. the person for the person to person. is this also about talking yes there's no you got it this is the prepared one and

then this is where they prepared to put the baby. to deputy to keep their big today even in handcuffs one of their men is still hanging on to a dummy as forensics offices begin to take samples of the materials used to make the concoction. not but. it would have been another way when you are. placing also and already one example into the presence and the liquid there men have already prepared to admin is that's a cool thing. but why. having that is sufficient evidence the police are now confident that the men both intended and not tempted to made that it's out.

a police vehicle is ready and waiting to take them into custody. i. think. those. are the photographs. and the police station their men are brought in and told to give up all the opposition's include india loads you for being put into the cells the yellow. tape. there will now wait here under lock and key until ed called decides the fate.

back at the house night has fallen by the brook and his collaborators the other group i invited to visit coffee filters the police the said our evidence is sufficient to i raise them in a way as soon as he's taken into custody it will agrees to get as to the homes of his at home places 1st is this who declared my fictitious child was evil. then to prevent anyone from wanting him to play scape would creep up on the house of the man who has been commissioned by the broker to prepare and administered of concoction. for the church so i tell you. his claim and folkways him in their child this life is also discovered and they can ask every day.

as they are loaded into the police were going in taking to the cells in this to see where very different expressions of the 1st. illusion relate the only now understand that take in a child's life the 2nd in that. spirits child from 2813 a moving and powerful film and to day says on this story we're joined now by investing journalist and us is also as not to show his identity great to have you in the studio with us. first of all explain to viewers who may not of course it from the film why you've got the face covering while i have always been in this traditional mask in my career and that so ensure security and that's to help so people don't see that phase that does that feel how dangerous is your work. i

guess this is not to point to me but most african. this food 2 investigations have a series of. dangerous point and i asked so it's you just have to be you have to think that how do i survive through them a story and i have come out with beat that i where i'm sure my adequately some in nigeria and this in malawi have addressed house of protecting themselves what sort of harassment have you faced when you were doing your work generally you would have before would definitely want to point guns at you some would try to kidnap you and we've had most of these happen and i mean get in threats of that is it's normal there are legal suits all those and there's no synonymous to me alone but most of my colleagues on the continent or for that we're muncher is to name and shame and

jail. over the naming and shaming but why do you feel it's so important to take it to that level where you want to see the people that you're reporting on pay for us to face justice there's nothing more frustrating than doing a story on someone and working on the same street on that with that person if that's even more dangerous and that can easily and the life of any journalist saw the days when we sit down and then say we have this problem we don't do story for people to read and smile in the bedrooms we do stories that have impacts on society for me that a good story is that story that named shane and jill to the bad guy i mind can be unconventional i testify in the court of law to make sure that the bad guys are put behind bass and that has helped so many people have gone to jail as a result of my way and i'm proud of it if we look at the film that we've just seen spirit child i mean it's a heart breaking investigation and what happened to those concoction men did they

go to jail yes they started the leader process but do you realize that there were 2 old so. by the time the process could finish some of them just couldn't even make it to dallas only they had some sympathy but the key if in that happened in that story is that it told the community that whoever you are when you attempt to do some of these things you are going behind bad ass for the face than those witch doctors where arrested and they were put before courts that sent a strong signal to all witch doctors to be careful that when you are dealing with the life of a child is a completely different math and that we can sit down for this children to be killed in the way they have been killed the former u.s. president barack obama he recognized you as a courageous journalist who risked his life to tell the truth and that's quite an extraordinary recognition to have do you think that you walk is having lost seeing

positive impacts on gonna look africa as a ted world country we not have problems we have the judiciary we know the problems we have adopted these folks before my thing that i am controversial but i am saying that on labor day you can the u.s. where journalists called the west story and the security agencies and judicial systems are stronger and could take up such issues in africa we don't have that we have institutions that lack basic amenities so i see no reason why a reporter from in the path of african continent would take one stick to the security date says half the minutes you are wasting people die that's the difference between stories that happen in the west and stories that happen in africa and author a very good speech about the very brave what that you were doing thanks for joining us here on rewind thank you and that is it for this week's rewind if you want to catch any of the other films in the series you'll find them on the rewind page on the out of their website but for now until next time good luck.
