"You are all from Kenya you know what I mean. We always come together to do something here in the UK and back home and we don't go far. In most of this cases it because of the tongue. Many children have gone in the wrong direction because of their tongue. Some parents do curse their children with their tongue. Many sure you bless your children in your homes than cursing as the tongue can bless or curse. Most of the problems in the community fruits of the of the tongue. Tame your tongue and instead of picking up your phones and spending hours and hours talking about other people with your friends be men and women of players. When you spend a lot of your time talking about other people, you might miss God's visitation." Pastor Jane concluded. A large number of worshippers had come all the way from Oxford.

Pastor is arrested over 'child witch' cruelty claims

London, Friday 26th January, 2007. The pastor of a London-based African church has been arrested on suspicion of child cruelty after claims that he had been branding children as witches and ordering that they be sent back to Africa where he would pray for them to die.  Pastor Dieudonné Tukala, 40, was held after a raid on his South London home. Mr Tukala, who is married with two children, heads a Congolese church with a congregation of about 400 in Tottenham, North London. Immigration officials are also investigating Mr Tukala, who arrived in Britain in 1999 with an Angolan passport and was granted exceptional leave to remain.

The allegations against Mr Tukala were uncovered by Angus Stickler, who reported the case on BBC Radio 4’s Today and on the BBC Two programme Newsnight last night, when video clips were shown from services recorded by one of the church elders.

The children of up to ten families are alleged to have been affected at the church, one of more than a hundred Congolese churches in and around the capital. In one example, the BBC reported, a father branded his nine-year-old son with a steam iron. A former church elder told Stickler that he was present when the boy was said to be possessed with evil spirits and alleged that Mr Tukala told the parents to beat him until he confessed to being a witch.

Other parents said that Mr Tukala told them to send their children to Africa, where he could pray for them to die. One woman, Fifi, described how she was pregnant when the family arrived in England in November 2002 as asylum-seekers. She said that within two weeks, Mr Tukala had named her, her son and her unborn child as witches. As a result, she alleged, her husband began to beat her and threw her on to the street.

Fifi told Stickler: “If someone is thought to be kendoki [a witch] in our country, they put car tyres around you and set you on fire.” Another woman, who asked not to be named, said that she went to the pastor because her seven-year-old daughter was having nightmares. He is alleged to have said the child was possessed, and on each visit extracted cash, once up to £80, from the mother. She claims to have been told that in Africa he would pray for the child to be killed.

The church is the latest to face claims that children are being accused of ndoki, or witchcraft, meaning possession by evil spirits. The Churches’ Child Protection Advisory Service has been working with churches from the Congolese community in London, and with the police, to advise on child protection. Detective Superintendent Chris Bourlet, head of Project Violet, a police child protection project, said: “Where there are allegations of child abuse, we will act.”
