Three well-known native doctors in Anambra State—Chidozie Nwangwu (popularly called Akwa Okuko Tiwara Ki), Onyebuchi Okocha (Onyeze Jesus), and Ekene Igboekweze (Eke Hit)—have been remanded in prison custody by a State High Court.
The trio appeared before Justice Jude Obiorah on Friday, where they were arraigned on charges of allegedly preparing protective charms for criminals and being involved in money rituals.
Their arraignment comes after they were arrested and detained about a month ago.
Upon hearing the charges, all three defendants pleaded not guilty.
Justice Obiorah ordered that they be remanded in a state correctional facility, and adjourned the case to April 11, 2025, for further hearing.
