Nuzo Onoh (born 22 September 1962) is a British-Nigerian writer. She grew up the third of the eight children of the late Chief Mrs Caroline Onoh, a former headteacher. She experienced the Biafran war with Nigeria (1967–70) as a child refugee and at the age of 13, she was the victim of an attempted "exorcism" by a local pastor. Due to this experience, she currently advocates for greater awareness of ritual child abuse in African communities.
