ANAMBRA State Governor, Chukwuma Soludo, has vowed to take action against native doctors involved in criminal activities.
Recently, over 30 native doctors and pastors were arrested for allegedly collaborating with kidnappers, internet fraudsters, and suspected ritualists.
Soludo also confirmed that several “Okite” pots, allegedly used for ritual purposes, are in the state government’s custody.
These pots, according to him, will undergo forensic analysis to detect any traces of human blood.
If found, the native doctors arrested in connection with the pots will not be released.

“Many Okite are now in our custody, and the only thing that can save their owners is if forensic tests show no traces of human blood,” he said.
Furthermore, the governor emphasized that these native doctors have been providing charms to youths, promising them they could evade security checks with hard drugs.
However, when these tactics fail, the youths often turn to cyber fraud and eventually become kidnappers in pursuit of easy money.
“They made Okite for these youths, assuring them they could pass security checkpoints undetected with hard drugs.
“But once caught, they end up in jail worldwide. When that failed, they turned to cyber fraud, and when that too failed, they became kidnappers in search of easy money,” the governor said.
Soludo’s administration is taking a strong stance against these activities, and investigations are ongoing.
