Monday, February 24, 2025 - Anambra State government has said it will arraign native doctors currently in its custody in court immediately after investigations are completed.
Commissioner for Information, Dr Law Mefor disclosed this at the weekend
in Awka while speaking to the state-owned broadcast station, Anambra
Broadcasting Service, ABS.
He said the Professor Chukwuma Soludo-led administration is working hard
towards restoring sanity in the state.
He said: “The state government is serious about its commitment to
eradicating criminal activities in Anambra.
“If the native doctors are convicted, they will be sentenced in
accordance with the provisions of the new Anambra Homeland Security Law.”
He clarified that Soludo’s administration is not opposed to traditional
worship, as misinterpreted by some people, but is instead focused on tackling
crime and those who enable it, including native doctors who prepare charms for
criminals.
DAILY POST reports that so far, about three native doctors have been
arrested for allegedly promoting money rituals and making charms for criminals.
Those who have been arrested and already in custody include Chidozie
Nwangwu, popularly known as Akwa Okuko Tiwara Aki, Onyebuchi Okocha, also known
as Onyeze Jesus and another from Okija in Ihiala known as Eke Hit. All are said
to still be in custody, pending investigation.
