A notorious "witch finder" who has been prevented by the Home Office from entering Britain is attempting to silence her critics with the threat of a £500 million lawsuit, it has emerged.
The preacher, who calls herself "Lady Apostle", is threatening to sue a number of organisations, including the British Humanist Association (BHA) and the Witchcraft and Human Rights Information Network (WHRIN), for half a billion pounds in total.
She is accusing them of defamation, in part due to a difference in wording.
Oh..?
Campaigners have accused Mrs Ukpabio, in her book Unveiling the Mysteries of Witchcraft, of writing “a child under two years of age that cries at night and deteriorates in health is an agent of Satan” .
But according to her solicitors, her actual words describe how such children can be possessed by “vampire witchcraft spirits” with signs of these being a child who “screams at night, cries, is always feverish, suddenly deteriorates in health, puts up an attitude of fear, and may not feed very well”.
Oh, right. Yes, that’s ….errr….totally different.
Andrew Copson, BHA chief executive, commented: “The fact that she is threatening to launch a legal claim for half a billion pounds over an alleged distinction between being accused of exorcising "Satan" or "Vampires" tells you all you need to know about Ms Ukpabio.”
Oh, indeed!
The letter, from London-based Graceland Solicitors, claims Mrs Ukpadio is “a Christian leader of international repute known and respected in many countries of the world”.
Yet the Home Office recently revoked her visa after calls from campaigners earlier this year that she be banned from Britain on child protection grounds. It came after she held a number of services during a visit to London in April.
Mrs Ukpabio subsequently complained to The Independent over its reporting.
SNORK!

Lawyers can be great.
The accused, who was found balls-deep in my grandmother at the care home, is a family man of good character.
I dunno, I was once sceptical about satanic possession and then I saw pics of Tony B collecting his GQ Philanthropist Award...if he'd managed to rotate his head, all doubt would go.
Matthew Hopkins earned himself a pretty penny (or two) when he was Witch Finder General.....
Oh let her in....one more African 'witchdoctor' won't make any difference, Sarf East Lunnun is full of them. Now, if when the govt puts up the border with Scotland it does the same around the rest of the Uk and throws these leeches out - she can go with them. Scotland is empty! Fuck off there! And Mr Slamond seems to want to ensure the demise of Scotland as a nation if not a race of 'Blue people'.
