Anambra: 3 Popular Native Doctors Docked For Alleged Criminal Activities

He was arraigned alongside Onyebuchi Okocha known as “Onye Eze” and Ekene Igboezekwe popularly known as “Eke Hit”.

The three native doctors were all arrested by the Anambra Security outfit known as “Agunechemba” in February and have been in detention since then.

The Prosecution Counsel, Mr. F.C. Okeke, told the court that the charges against the suspect had been served them and that they were ready to proceed with the case.

The charges were not read in detail as a result of the development.

The presiding Judge, Justice Jude Obiora, ordered that the suspects be returned to Agunechemba detention facility to make for proper processes.

Obiora adjourned the cases till April 11 for proper arraignment and pleadings.
