From Witchcraft Accusation to University Graduate: Miriam’s Triumph After 11 Years
Miriam has graduated from Akwa Ibom State University, 11 years after villagers accused her of witchcraft and tried to kill her. She was rescued by Danish aid worker Anja Ringgren Lovn and a colleague after hiding in a bush, fearing for her life. Miriam witnessed two friends being killed for the same accusation and remained silent for a long time after her rescue, traumatized by what she endured. This weekend, she received her Bachelor of Arts in History and International Relations. Her rescue team celebrated her resilience and strength. Miriam’s journey shows that hope and love can overcome even the darkest fears.
