Akwa Okuko Tiwaraki, a native doctor from Anambra, has been kidnapped by gunmen in the state’s Idemili North Local Government Area.
According to reports, the armed men assaulted the well-known witch doctor’s hotel in the Oba neighborhood on Sunday night.
His two bodyguards were killed by gunfire before he was taken to an unidentified location.
It was learned that the procedure that resulted in Tiwaraki’s abduction was executed without difficulty, raising questions in the neighborhood regarding his standing as a native physician.
Tiwaraki was known to have always boasted of how powerful and rich he was, while his mansion in the community was also said to have attracted people who sought anti-bullet charms and money rituals.
The state Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Toochukwu Ikenga, has confirmed the incident, saying it happened around 11:30 p.m.
“CP Aderemi Adeoye has ordered that operatives go after his abductors and ensure his release,” he added.
