Samuel, a young Nigerian boy, who got rescued after he was accused of being a witch and almost k!lled, has grown up and has now gained admission into the university.
Danish aid worker, Anja Ringgren Love, who rescued Samuel, disclosed this in a Facebook post on Friday, November 28, 2025.
She said she rescued Samuel 12 years ago in Akwa Ibom.
Loven recalled sharing a meal with Samuel after his rescue to make him know she didn’t believe he was a witch.
“I rescued Samuel 12 years ago. He was accused of being a witch and almost k1lled,” she wrote.
“After his rescue I sat down with him to eat food. Children accused of being witches are believed to be possessed by evil spirits so nobody wants to share food with them.
“To share food with Samuel was my way to make him know that I did not believe he was a witch.
“And now after 12 years under my care I watch with much pride Samuel celebrating his matriculation today! He did it !!
Congratulations Samuel ! 12 years ago we shared a meal together and my only wish back then was for you to survive and get an education.
My wish came true because of your support to Land of Hope. I’m forever grateful.
