Profeesor Egodi Uchendu was piqued that there has been a fake news saying that the conference has been cancelled. She is the convener of the conference.

“Church Pastors discuss Witchcraft regularly and preach against it all the time, drawing from their experience during their trainings and in their ministries. I am sure the information from this conference and the research findings would assist them in their work for the Gospel.

“Surprisingly some persons erroneously concluded that only Witches can discuss Witchcraft. Our conference is a mere Academic discussion where we shall review Journals, information gathered over the years on the subject matter. That is what scholars do and this should not cause alarm.

Several (members) of the organizers of this conference are practicing born again Christians who preach the gospel and live by the gospel. I am personally aware of the stand of the gospel on witchcraft. Since this is not a gathering of witches by witches, we are also allowed as scholars to discuss such topics. Our conference is all about the advancement of Knowledge. The body of Christ Generally including (the Christian Association of Nigeria), CAN, will also benefit from our findings.

She went ahead to invite other members of the public including CAN and (the Penticostal Fellowship of Nigeria,) PFN.

Since the University announced the Conference, all heel was let loose with those for and against the conference throwing darts at each other on the desirability or otherwise of the conference.
