Anambra State Governor, Chukwuma Soludo, is taking a strong stance against native doctors involved in criminal activities.
According to Law Mefor, Commissioner for Information, the governor is targeting those who prepare charms for kidnappers and armed robbers, not all native doctors.
“These practices have led to a rise in evil rituals like Ego Mbute, Oke-Ite, and Yahoo Plus, which are alien to the Igbo culture of integrity and morality.
“The governor’s move aims to root out these diabolical practices that have nothing to do with genuine traditional medicine or native doctors who serve God and humanity,” Mefor said
Mefor emphasized that traditional medicine has a rich cultural heritage, and those genuinely practising the trade have nothing to fear from the governor’s declaration.
The Anambra State Government plans to document all native doctors practicing in the state to tackle insecurity, sanitize the practice, and preserve the state.
The governor is calling on Ndi Anambra to work together with the government to promote a culture of respect for human life, integrity, morality, and hard work.
The government encourages citizens to report any suspicious activities, as security is everybody’s business.
