A shocking alleged murder involving two self-styled native doctors has been discovered by police personnel.
In the Owa-Alidinma community, Ika North-East Local Government Area of Delta State, the native doctors are accused of killing their patients and dumping their bodies there.
Isioma Ugbeje, 22, and Liberty Friday, a 20-year-old passenger, were discovered missing after visiting a community shrine for spiritual counseling.
According to reports, Friday had traveled to the herbalist’s residence to get some assistance, and he was taken on his motorcycle by Ugbeje and taken there by himself. Their families raised an alarm and reported the incident to the police when both men failed to return home.
Detectives began an extensive investigation that resulted in the discovery of the victims’ decomposing remains at the shrine after receiving a petition from the Agbor Area Command on October 14, 2025. The premises’ soak-away pit was where the bodies were buried.
