A self-acclaimed native doctor, popularly known as “Akwa Okuku Tiwara Aki n’Oba,” has been sentenced to two years’ imprisonment following his arrest by the Anambra State Government last year.
The High Court sitting in Awka, however, ruled that part of the sentence will run concurrently with the period already spent in custody, effectively leaving him with eleven months to complete his jail term.

According to the ruling, after serving the prison term, he will take up the following activities as ordered by the court:
- He will become an ambassador for youth reorientation.
- His Oba shrine will be destroyed
- He will no longer practise “Okeite” and won’t administer such charms.
- Upon completion of his term, he will make a public statement denouncing “Okeite” and such charm practices
- He will serve his prison term at Awka Correctional Centre.
He was arrested over alleged shady fetish activities linked to dangerous charms prepared for youths for financial boom, among other charges.
The arrest forms part of the state’s crackdown on criminal elements and fraudulent practices impacting the people of Anambra State negatively.
