Governor of Anambra State, Prof. Charles Soludo has raised fresh alarm over the activities of fake native doctors in Anambra State, and their influence on youths.
According to the Governor fake native doctors and prophets deceive young people into taking many risks, including believing that they can evade security checks when smuggling drugs by using charms and talismans.
He said these native doctors and prophets deceive young people by claiming they can prepare charms that make airport scanners blind to drug trafficking.
Speaking at a political gathering in Awka, the state capital, the governor revealed that 23 Anambra indigenes are on death row in Indonesia, an Asian country, over drug-related issues.
Soludo said: “Go to Indonesia, 23 Anambra youths are on death row there for drug-related offences.
He added that such beliefs were damaging the mindsets of youths in the state, and warned that any native doctor caught making deceptive claims would be arrested.
Soludo also used the opportunity to responded to the protest staged by followers of a pastor detained by the Agunechemba security outfit.
Thr protesters had insisted that the pastor was innocent of the allegations against him, claiming he does not prepare charms for criminals.
However, Governor Soludo disagreed with them.sayimg “We don’t arrest anybody without being sure of what he has done – without having concrete evidence,”.
