Evangelist Helen Ukpabio, founder of Liberty Foundation Gospel Ministries is presently in London for a crusade, however, some citizens are not happy with her visit. Continue..
Many of them want her deported because of her negative believe about ‘children’.
Recall that she was once confessed to have been betrothed to Satan as a teenager before being rescued from a cult at the age of 17 after meeting with Christ thus she now specializes in liberating captives, and praying for children that are possessed or bewitched and these UK citizens don't want that!

They claim that the 'deliverance sessions' are little more than crude exorcisms.
While preaching, she allegedly told parents that “If a child under the age of two screams in the night, cries and is always feverish with deteriorating health, he or she is a servant of Satan.”
Campaigners say such beliefs, prevalent in some parts of the developing world, can put children’s safety at risk so they wrote to Ms May to urge that the pastor be banned from the UK after the current tour.
In the letter, the Witchcraft and Human Rights Information Network (WHRIN), the Bar Human Rights Committee of England and Wales and the International Humanist and Ethical Union (IHEU) cite the cases of Victoria Climbié and Kristy Bamu as examples where witchcraft beliefs played a role in the horrific torture and murder of children.
Bob Churchill, of the IHEU, said: “It is important that the UK authorities send a message to the world that branding children, or anyone, as a witch is beyond the pale.”
Gary Foxcroft, of the WHRIN, who has worked extensively in documenting examples of witchcraft abuse, said Ms Ukpabio was one of a number of preachers who regularly travelled to the UK. “The fundamental problem is that churches need to be regulated. Anyone can set up a church tomorrow in their own garden shed with no commitment to child protection or making their accounts transparent or any theological training.”
Ms Ukpabio founded the church in 1992 in Calabar, Nigeria. It now claims to have 150 branches worldwide.
