Domestic workers sold on Instagram

Slave markets found on Instagram and other apps, a BBC investigation finds

An undercover investigation by BBC News Arabic has found that domestic workers are being illegally bought and sold online in a booming black market.

The police have made yet another raid on an illegal detention centre in Nigeria - but this time it was run by a Christian pastor, rather than a Muslim cleric.

Religious leaders have gathered in Nairobi to talk about the role of traditional healing churches. Reverend Dr Fidon Mwombeki is the General Secretary of the All Africa Conference of Churches. He tells us what they have been discussing.
