A man from Malawi who proudly featured in a BBC documentary and admitted that he has for many years been involved in an initiation ceremony to “cleanse” young girls by having s*x with them, has been arrested.
The man revealed in the feature that he had had s*x with more than 100 girls and that he was HIV positive.
Under President Peter Mutharika’s orders, Eric Aniva has been arrested, the director of communication at State House-Bright Molande told the BBC’s Focus on Africa radio programme.
Eric Aniva, nicknamed “hyena” would be prosecuted for violating children’s rights and s*x crimes for his role in the initiation, the communicator said.
He also said that the president was disturbed by the revelations and will crackdown on the barbaric cultural practice.
