The Anambra State Government has carried out the destruction of the shrine belonging to a native doctor identified as Chidozie Nwangwu, who is popularly referred to as Akwa Okuko Tiwara Aki.
This demolition occurred shortly after a High Court in Awka handed down an 11-month prison sentence to Nwangwu. The court found him guilty in connection with ritualistic practices, specifically "oke Ite," and other related offenses.
The Agunechemba security personnel, operating under the directive of Mr. Ken Emeakayi, the Special Adviser to Governor Chukwuma Soludo on Community Security, supervised the demolition. The shrine is located in Oba, within the Idemili South Local Government Area of the state.
Reports indicate that the extensive shrine, which housed numerous native pots known as Oke Ite, photographs of individuals, sculpted figures, clothing, and various other items, was systematically dismantled.
Subsequently, the confiscated fetish items were set on fire.
