The commissioner for information in Anambra state, Law Mefore has alleged that some native doctors are involved in criminal activities including kidnapping, in the state.
In a statement issued on Friday, Mefor said the state governor, Chukwuma declared war on those fake and devilish native doctors who work in tandem with the criminals operating in Anambra.
According to Mefor, the governor never declared war on all native doctors but against those involvernin various forms of criminalities.
He said, “Some native doctors are involved in preparing charms for kidnappers and armed robbers and are believed to be involved in evil practices that may not exclude human sacrifices for money and protection.
“These diabolical rituals have given rise to ‘Ego Mbute’, ‘Oke-Ite’ and ‘Yahoo Plus’ as well as idolatry, making a speedy return to Igbo socio-cultural life, Soludo, out of a sense of responsibility and responsiveness, has moved to root such diabolical and evil practices out, which have nothing to do with genuine traditional medicine or native doctors who are truly serving God and humanity,” he said.
Stating that the state government is working hard to ensure the safety of all, Mefor also warned that security is everyone’s business.
He urged the people of the state to ensure they work together with security agencies and their operatives to protect lives and property in Anambra.
