An Anambra State High Court presided by Justice Jude Obiorah on Friday sentenced the flamboyant and controversial Oba, Idemili South -based native doctor Chukwudozie Nwangwu, aka Akwa okuko tiwara aki, to eleven months imprisonment after he pleaded guilty to the charges bothering on money rituals.
Nwangwu, alongside other alleged notorious and infamous native doctors including Eke Hit and Onyeze Jisos were brought before the court by the Anambra State government for money ritual practices, alleged involvement in activities linked to the acquisition of wealth through ritual means, and money rituals sacrifice/practice among other charges.
The court in it’s judgement held that the native doctor admitted to engaging in money ritual practices and preparing protective charms for criminals.
He was also accused of making talismans believed to be used by kidnappers and armed robbers, as well as aiding criminal elements through charms and other related means.
In addition to the prison sentence, the court also ordered that Nwangwu’s “Oba Shrine” be destroyed and directed that he must cease and stop all forms of Okeite practice and refrain from administering such charms in the future.
Court also ruled that upon completion of his jail term at the Awka Correctional Centre, Nwangwu must publicly denounce Okeite and similar charm practices.
He was also mandated to serve as an Ambassador for youth re-orientation as part of efforts to discourage young people from engaging in ritual-related activities.
His conviction followed his guilty plea to all three charges preferred against him by the state government, bringing the high-profile case to an end.
