The Enugu State Police Command has paraded a notorious native doctor in Enugu Ezike, Onuwa Odugu and a 67 year old father over the tragic death of the a young man in a failed fortification ritual.<\/p>\n
The death of the 26 year old man, identified as Chikwado Eze in a shrine during a fortification ritual had earlier been reported.<\/p>\n
It was learnt that the young man after securing a visa to travel abroad returned to the village from where he was escorted to the native doctor\u2019s shrine for the ritual which was supposed to ensure his success abroad.<\/p>\n
As part of the ritual, the young man was buried in a coffin for 1 hour 30 minutes. He was later exhumed but had died inside the coffin.<\/p>\n
The Police Spokesman in Enugu, Daniel Ndukwe, in a statement on Wednesday said that both the native Doctor and the deceased\u2019s father have been arrest and would soon be charged to court for conspiracy and murder.<\/p>\n
The statement reads, \u201cThe Enugu State Police Command is making the public aware of the recent occurrence and handling of two separate murder cases. In the first case, a native doctor, one Onuwa Odugu \u201cm\u201d, aged 48, and Uwakwe Eze \u201cm\u201d, aged 67, were arrested for conspiracy and murder of Eze\u2019s 26-year-old son, one Chikwado Celestine Eze.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe incident is alleged to have occurred when Uwakwe Eze took his son to the native doctor\u2019s shrine for rituals intended to fortify him with charms.<\/p>\n
\u201cHowever, during the ritual, the deceased was buried in a coffin but he unfortunately died in the process.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe was rushed to the hospital and confirmed dead by the attending doctor, and his body deposited in the mortuary for preservation and autopsy.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe native doctor confessed to the crime and the previous performance of such rituals, attributing the death of the victim to his non-adherence to certain ritualistic rules he earlier prescribed for him.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe case is under investigation, and the suspects will be arraigned in court once investigations are concluded.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
