The governor of Anambra State, Chukwuma Soludo has said that all the ‘Okite’ pots recovered from native doctors in the state would be subjected to forensic analysis.
Soludo said that native doctors arrested with the pots would not be freed should the pots contain traces of human blood.
Speaking in Awka, the Anambra State capital city, the governor said that investigations are already ongoing following the arrest of native doctors and some pastors by security operatives in Anambra.
Recall that over 30 native doctors and pastors were arrested by the Anambra state government over their alleged involvement with criminals including kidnappers, internet fraudsters (Yahoo yahoo) and suspected ritualists, in the state.
However, the governor confirmed that several Okites are in the custody of the state government.
He said, “Many Okite are now in our custody, and the only thing that can save their owners is if forensic tests show no traces of human blood.
“They made Okite for these youths, assuring them they could pass security checkpoints undetected with hard drugs.
“But once caught, they end up in jail worldwide. When that failed, they turned to cyber fraud, and when that too failed, they became kidnappers in search of easy money,” the governor noted.
