The Anambra State government has intensified its battle against fake native doctors and criminality in the state by sealing a shrine in Umuofor village, Okija, in the Ihiala local government area.
The shrine, allegedly used by one Ekene Igboegbueze, a native doctor, who promises super wealth to gullible people, was shut down due to complaints from Okija residents.
The Special Adviser to the governor on community security, Prince Ken Emeakai, said the state government sealed the place on account of complaints it received from the people of Okija.
According to him, Igboegbueze's business was illegal under Anambra State Homeland Security Laws, stating that properties acquired with the proceeds of the illegal business have been sealed.
"All the items seen in the shrine will undergo forensic test and the outcome will determine what government will do with him," he added.
The Director of Operation for Agunechemba Security Outfit, Chinenye Ihenko, warned youths against patronizing fake native doctors and pastors, adding, "The activities of fake native doctors and pastors are promoting get-rich-quick syndrome mentality in the state.
"The mandate we have is to sanitize the state and we are on course. Anything contributing in one way or the other towards the desecration of the state and aiding criminal activities will surely give way. That we can assure Anambra people."
He urged people, especially the youths, to pursue legitimate ventures to avoid running foul of the law.
