Native doctor shot dead by vigilante operatives in Anambra
A traditional medical practitioner, whose identities are yet to
be ascertained, was last weekend shot dead by some vigilante operatives
for allegedly possessing some substances suspected to be charms and
fresh animal parts.
The incident, which occurred at the Immaculate Heart Sisters’ Convent, Nkpor, Idemili North
Local Government Area, Anambra State, during the first profession
ceremony of 16 new Rev Sisters, caused a stampede as participants at the
ceremony scampered for safety when they heard sound of a gun shot and
the consequent death of a man after the shooting.
According to
the source, trouble started when the victim, on arriving the arena, was
refused entry to where the sisters were being professed unless he
surrendered himself for a search by the security operatives, but he was
reported to have vehemently refused to submit himself for the search.
It was gathered that as he was dragging his bag with the security
operatives who insisted on seeing what was contained in it, he abandoned
the bag and fled.
Consequently, one of the operatives opened fire and gunned him down as he was trying to run away and he died on the spot.
On searching his bag, five padlocks, some pieces of fresh animal parts
wrapped with polythene bags and powdered substances suspected to be
charms were found in it.
The operatives quickly alerted the police at Ogidi Division who removed the corpse to a nearby morgue.
Reacting to the development, some of the invitees and reverend sisters
said the native doctor might have come on a suicide mission.
Confirming the incident, the Divisional Police Officer, DPO, incharge of
Idemili Divisional Police Headquarters, Ogidi, Mr Isa Abubakar, CSP,
said the case would soon be transferred to State Investigation and
Intelligence Bureau, SIIB, Awka, for further investigations.
