Chief Onupka Nwite, a popular native doctor, was at the weekend
reportedly murdered by suspected cultists in his shrine in Ndulo
Ukwuagba Ngbo, Ohaukwu local government area of Ebonyi state.
According to Vanguard, Nwite was killed at about 8:00pm Friday, in
front of his shrine, causing panic in the area. The suspects took to
their heels after the dastardly act.
The late native doctor was said to be an expert in preparing charms
for cultists in the area, which they use for protection against rival
cult group(s) during clashes.
Son of the deceased, Nwabueze Onukpa alleged that one Abacha,
Parity and their gang killed his father. He was said to have reported
the matter to Ohaukwu Police Division and the Development Centre
Coordinator even as he appealed to security agents to bring the culprits
to book.
The man also reported the matter to his kindred in Ukwuagba who
mobilized youth and went on rampage, burning houses of some persons
suspected to be involved in the killing of the native doctor.
When contacted, state Police Public Relations Officer, ASP George
Okafor said he was on a trip and could not give needed information.
“I am not with my record because I am travelling. I will be back tomorrow please” he said.
