Law Mefor, commissioner for information in Anambra state, says the Chukwuma Soludo administration is only after native doctors providing charms for kidnappers and armed robbers in the state.
Mefor issued the clarification on Saturday, following concerns raised by native doctors across the state after reports suggested that Soludo had declared war on them.
Soludo reportedly said he had declared war on native doctors due to increased criminal activities in the state.
In a statement on Saturday, Mefor highlighted findings from investigations into the activities of native doctors in the south-east, which he said uncovered troubling practices by some of them.
āFor the sake of the unsuspecting public, I want to address the recent disinformation generated in some desperate quarters over Governor Chukwuma Soludoās stance on native doctors,ā Mefor said.
āTo set the record straight, Soludo never declared war on all native doctors but rather on fake and devilish native doctors involved in criminal activities.
āConcerned individuals and organisations have been investigating native doctors in the South-East and uncovered shocking revelations that reflect what Soludo is saying.
āSome native doctors are involved in preparing charms for kidnappers and armed robbers and are believed to be involved in evil practices that may not exclude human sacrifices for money and protection.
āThese diabolical rituals have given rise to āEgo Mbuteā, āOke-Iteā and āYahoo Plusā as well as idolatry, making a speedy return to Igbo socio-cultural life, Soludo, out of a sense of responsibility and responsiveness, has moved to root such diabolical and evil practices out, which have nothing to do with genuine traditional medicine or native doctors who are truly serving God and humanity.ā
The commissioner said the governorās stance is not a blanket condemnation of traditional medicine or native doctors, but a targeted effort to root out those using āspiritual powersā for criminal activities.
āThey are misleading the youths and will turn the state into a soulless society if not stopped,ā he said.
āThe way forward requires greater clarity and understanding. We must recognise that not all native doctors are involved in criminal activities and that traditional medicine has a rich cultural heritage.
āSo those genuinely practising the trade have nothing to fear from Soludoās declaration. However, as we also acknowledge that fake native doctors are involved in criminal activities, they must be exposed and brought to justice as a way of sanitising the practice, rooting our criminality and preserving the state.ā
