No native doctor can make sudden billionaires, according to Soludo, who has cautioned young people in Anambra against using false charms.

Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, the governor of Anambra State, has urged the state’s indigenous people to avoid falling for the tricks of some dishonest local physicians who say they can make someone rich without doing anything.

The governor made the statement while speaking to members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) who defected to the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) in favor of his reelection.

In Anambra State, there have been continuous crackdowns on criminal native physicians, the majority of whom make false claims to make people wealthy and manufacture protective charms for kidnappers. Approximately forty of these indigenous physicians are currently in custody following their arrest by state government officials.

Some have also expressed outrage, viewing the arrest as an assault on adherents of traditional religions. However, the governor has maintained that he is targeting criminal local doctors who have been defrauding people, not traditional worshippers.

He said: “Go to Indonesia, 23 Ndi Anambra are on death row there for drug related offenses. These native doctors will deceive you that they will prepare a charm that when you carry drug and enter the airport, the white man’s scanner will go blind. These young people believe them and today, many of our people are languishing in jail across the world.

“Let me tell you, if you see anyone who is professing to have the powers to make people rich, tell us, we will arrest him and bring him to Awka. If he makes one person a millionaire, we will bring Anambra people and line them up. Don’t you want an Anambra that everyone will be a millionaire? I will equally present myself because I need money too.

“One of the native doctors who is in detention, his son is a waiter in a hotel in Nnewi. If it was that simple, why didn’t he make his son a millionaire? One of them that we arrested has sworn that he is just a content creator, yet he has used things like these to deceive our young people that you can become rich without doing any work, as far as you have done Oke Ite (money rituals).

“That is why you see young people who wake up in the morning and retire to beer parlour drinking, hoping to get rich later in life.

“We are not against traditional worshipers, what we are against is people who are doing dangerous medicines and charms. We have always known those who are into traditional practices, they have things they believe in, and they were about the most upright people then. Those were people who believed that if you did the wrong thing, you could be killed by the gods of the land. But what these new crop of criminal native doctors are doing is deceit, and we will not allow that to continue,” Soludo stated.
