For this Nigerian community, twins are considered aliens- a non-human existence that spells doom to the community. The twins are seen as gods among men and have strange powers, which scare many people, some of who believe that they suck blood at night or will grow up to kill their parents.
It is against this background that twins in this community are killed when they are born. The murders are conducted in secrecy and often done by a witchdoctor who invokes his or her spirit to perform the incantations making them quite invisible and unaccountable in the eyes of the law.
It is reported that the children are either given a secretly prepare liquid, strangled to death by witchdoctors or covered with calabash until they suffocate.
Mostly believe that the witch doctors are heavily involved in the murder because they are threatened by the tremendous power of the twins, who are believed to be stronger than them.
