Among other things, Christian evangelists in Nigeria have put an emphasis on witchcraft, and particularly beating witchcraft out of children. http://www.talk2action.org/story/2010/5/23/115738/226 Christian pastors speak of raising the dead and being raised from the dead, performing miracles, healing the sick, exorcism, oracles, white magic, and all the other things that the powerful use on the gullible.

It's not a healthy situation, and when you get animism, islam, and christianity all trying for the same flock, you are bound to get this kind of thing. Education is necessary.
