Popular Wealthy Enugu Native Doctor Arrested After Kidnapping 13years Old Girl For Ritual

Tension gripped the community of Umumba Ndiagu in Ezeagu Local Government Area of Enugu State after a self-acclaimed native doctor was apprehended over the alleged kidnapping of a 13-year-old girl, believed to have been targeted for ritual purposes.

According to eyewitnesses and local sources, concerned community members raised an alarm after the young girl went missing, leading to a swift search that eventually traced her to the compound of the native doctor. Upon further investigation, residents stormed the premises and discovered a pit allegedly used to dispose of human remains.

Disturbingly, reports suggest that the remains of women, babies, and even a pregnant woman were found, pointing to a long history of suspicious activities.

Angered by the gruesome discovery, irate youths took matters into their own hands, setting fire to the suspect’s house and vehicles in a bid to express their outrage and prevent any attempt to cover up the incident. The council chairman of Ezeagu LGA was said to have visited the scene shortly after the incident to assess the situation and assure residents that justice would be served.

This horrifying case has reignited conversations around ritual practices, child safety, and the need for better community policing and law enforcement response in rural areas.
