Anambra Government Destroys Shr£ne of Popular Native Doctor Akwa Okuko After Sentenced to 11months in Prison

The Anambra State Government has demolished the shrine of a popular native doctor, Chidozie Nwangwu, widely known as Akwa Okuko Tiwara Aki.

The demolition followed a judgment by a High Court sitting in Awka, which sentenced the native doctor to 11 months imprisonment over his involvement in ritual practices popularly known as “Oke Ite”, alongside other related offences.

The destruction of the shrine, located in Oba, was carried out by Agunechemba security operatives under the supervision of Ken Emeakayi, the Special Adviser to Governor Chukwuma Soludo on Community Security.

During the operation, security personnel reportedly discovered several ritual items at the site, including native pots locally referred to as Oke Ite, photographs of individuals, moulded images, clothes, and other fetish materials. The shrine was dismantled piece by piece, while some of the recovered items were set ablaze.
