UNBELIEVABLE! ! SEE What Governor Soludo Did To Popular Native Doctor That Surprised Everyone [ Video ]
In a shocking turn of events, Chukwudozie Nwangwu, the renowned native doctor popularly known as Akwa Okuko Tiwara Aki, was arrested by the Anambra State government led by Governor Chukwuma Soludo. The arrest has ignited widespread controversy, drawing attention across the state and beyond.
A video circulating on social media, which was seen by SaharaReporters, captures the dramatic moment of Akwa Okuko’ s arrest. According to the footage, he was first taken to the office of Anambra’ s Deputy Governor, Gilbert Onyekachukwu Ibezim, where he was interrogated before being forcibly escorted into a police van for detention. The incident has sent shockwaves through local communities, as Akwa Okuko has been a well- known figure in traditional practices throughout the region.
During the interrogation, Akwa Okuko, in a calm yet defiant manner, claimed that he had ceased practicing and preparing the controversial charm rituals known as ” Okeite” ever since the state government declared war on native doctors. The war, which Governor Soludo announced in December 2024, was aimed at curbing the rising tide of criminal activities linked to ritual practices, including the use of charms for kidnappings and violent acts.
The governor’ s strong stance against native doctors caused a stir, leaving many practitioners in fear and uncertainty. While Soludo clarified that the war was specifically targeting ” fake” native doctors involved in criminality, the crackdown has been relentless and without exception. The arrest of Akwa Okuko is one of the highest- profile actions taken under this declaration.
Akwa Okuko denied any involvement in illegal activities, pointing out that he had stopped practicing shortly after the government’ s announcement. ” It is not my page that posted the video, ” he explained during his interrogation. He further claimed that since hearing about the law prohibiting his practice, he had stopped all related activities. ” Since I heard about no ‘ Okeite, ‘ I just stopped it, ” he added.
However, Deputy Governor Ibezim was not convinced. He emphasized that the government would continue to investigate Akwa Okuko’ s past practices and demanded that he provide evidence of his claim that he had ceased his ritual work. ” We want to see the places where you do these things, and the evidence of what you are doing, ” Ibezim insisted, leaving little room for negotiation. He warned Akwa Okuko that any failure to comply would lead to severe consequences.
The situation escalated further when Akwa Okuko attempted to leave the premises in his personal car, but security forces swiftly intervened and forced him into a police van. This development marks a significant chapter in Governor Soludo’ s campaign to rid the state of illegal native doctor practices.
As the investigation unfolds, the fate of Akwa Okuko remains uncertain, and his arrest has ignited debates about the balance between traditional practices and state law in Anambra.
