"More than 20,000 people fell victim (to me and my men). They were killed," said Blahyi, who dated the beginning of his murders to 1982, when he was ordained as a ritual priest responsible for making human sacrifices before battle. He said when he later led his fighters against the insurgency launched by Charles Taylor, he commanded them to embrace this tradition.

2008-1982= 26 years.

The guy is 37.

37-26=11.

So he was 11 when he was ordained as a ritual priest responsible for making human sacrifices before battle?

In expatriate nigerian former jujuman now-convert, Isah Oke’s 1988 classic “Blood Secrets” he states he was 13 when he was initiated.
