TROUBLE! Native Doctors Declare War On Soludo After Arresting Their Colleagues; SEE What They Vow To Do
A group of traditional healers and spiritual practitioners in Anambra State has voiced their discontent with what they perceive as unjust targeting by the state government. These indigenous doctors, collectively referred to as Ndi Dibia and Ezenwanyi, argue that the deployment of Agunaechemba security personnel against them is an act of discrimination and a violation of their constitutional rights to practice their beliefs.
Healers from across the state have gathered to protest what they see as systematic stigmatization by the authorities. They claim that the government is using security forces to intimidate and suppress their activities. During the demonstration, the group conducted rituals and offered prayers, symbolically resisting what they describe as unwarranted interference by Governor Charles Soludo’ s administration.
In a statement issued from a undisclosed venue, the group’ s leader, High Priest Ikele, criticized the governor’ s approach, calling it unfair and biased. ” We are not criminals or members of secret cults, ” Ikele emphasized. ” We are custodians of our community’ s health and spiritual well- being, practicing traditions passed down through generations. ” The healers remain steadfast in their resolve, vowing to continue their spiritual practices until their concerns are addressed. Additionally, they have pledged to oppose Governor Soludo’ s re- election bid during the November 8, 2025, polls.
Meanwhile, the state government has announced plans to prosecute several detained traditional practitioners under the newly enacted Anambra State Homeland Security Law. Among those in custody are individuals accused of engaging in illicit money rituals, such as ” Yahoo plus, ” and creating charms allegedly used by criminals. Notable figures include Chidozie Nwangwu, known as Akwa Okuko Tiwara Aki; Onyebuchi Okocha, also called Onyeze Jesus (Father of All Men); and Ekene Igboekweze, popularly referred to as Eke Hit from Okija in Ihiala Local Council.
Ekene Igboekweze, who often promotes traditional practices on Facebook, had previously criticized his peers for being easily apprehended by law enforcement. However, he was arrested shortly afterward. Dr. Law Mefor, the state’ s Commissioner for Information, confirmed that legal action will be taken once investigations are complete. He denied claims that the administration is hostile toward traditional worship, insisting that the focus is on curbing criminal activities and targeting those who enable them, including traditional practitioners linked to criminal enterprises.
Speaking on the state- owned Anambra Broadcasting Service (ABS), Mefor reiterated that the accused are presumed innocent until proven guilty in court. If convicted, they will face penalties as outlined in the new security law. This escalating tension underscores the complex relationship between preserving cultural heritage and addressing contemporary security challenges in Anambra State, highlighting the need for dialogue and understanding between traditionalists and policymakers.
