No fewer than 23 indigenes of the Anambra State are currently on death row in Indonesia for drug-related offences.
The Executive Governor of Anambra State, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo made this known on Wednesday while addressing a group of All Progressives Congress members who defected to the All Progressives Grand Alliance in support of his re-election bid.
“These native doctors do promised this young Men that they give them charms that will make the white Man’s scanner to go blind whenever they enter airport with drugs”
“The young people believe them and today, many of our people are languishing in jail across the world,” he stated.
According to Prof Soludo, many of the self-proclaimed native doctors can not even use their so-called powers to improve their own lives.
“One of the native doctors who is in detention, his son is a waiter in a hotel in Nnewi. If it was that simple, why didn’t he make his son a millionaire? he maintained
The governor said such beliefs were damaging the mindset of youths in the state.
He clarified that the state is not opposed to traditional religion but is determined to clamp down on those who promote dangerous practices in the name of spirituality.
