Three native doctors were arraigned before the Anambra State High Court in Awka on Friday, facing charges for allegedly aiding criminals and involvement in money rituals.
Onyebuchi Okocha, also known as Onyeze Jesus, Chidozie Nwangwu, popularly known as Akwa Okuko, and Ekene Igboekweze, known as Eke Hit, were docked separately, and their charges were read out in a heavily congested court.
The charges were mainly for preparation of money rituals and protective charms for criminals.
Justice Onuorah however adjourned the matter to 11th April 2025.
Speaking to newsmen after the court proceedings, one of the Counsels for the 3 defendants, Remigus Okoli, said the state government came with a ploy to remand the defendants.
He insisted that the accused were not given adequate time to prepare for their defense.
Efforts to speak with Counsels to the state government led by F C Okeke were not successful.
