Humanist Community of Central Ohio [HCCO] will be hosting Leo Igwe as part of his U.S. speaking tour.

Leo Igwe is a humanist, skeptic, and human rights advocate from Nigeria. He has specialized in campaigning against and documenting the impacts of witchcraft accusations in Africa, where up to 55% of the population believes in witchcraft, often with horrifying results.

In 2012, Mr. Igwe was appointed as a Research Fellow of the James Randi Educational Foundation, where he continues to work towards the goal of responding to what he sees as the deleterious effects of superstition as he advances skepticism throughout Africa and around the world. In 2014, Mr. Igwe was chosen as a laureate of the International Academy of Humanism.
