A popular native doctor, Chief Onupka Nwite was
weekend reportedly murdered by suspected cultists in his shrine in Ndulo
Ukwuagba Ngbo, Ohaukwu local government area of Ebonyi state.
Nwite was killed
at about 8:00pm Friday, in front of his shrine, as the suspects took to their
heels after the dastardly act.
He 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.
