Our family will soon be more than a community – Son of late Enugu man with 68 wives, 400 children, grandchildren

History was made in Aji community in the Igbo-Eze North Local Government Area of Enugu State on Tuesday as a native doctor, Simon Odo, well known as King of Satan, was buried in a new car inside his compound. Married with 68 wives, over 200 children and more than 200 grandchildren, according to his close friend, Chief Joseph Ugwu, 74-year-old Odo (also called Onuwa) built houses in several places within the town to accommodate his large family. Until his death, about 62 wives were said to be living with him. Our correspondent, who visited the community on Wednesday, observed that the King of Satan had three palaces located in different locations within the community – each with several houses where his wives and children live. When asked about the number of children his father had, he simply said, “In our place we don’t count children.” Odo’s bosom friend, Ugwu, who led our correspondent during the tour, disclosed that Odo was famed for treating diseases, describing him as a good man. Ugwu explained that his friend married many wives because he was the only surviving male child of his parents. He added, “He recently married the 68th wife. He has over 200 children and his grandchildren are more than 200. Throughout his life, Onuwa allowed his children who didn’t want to follow his footsteps as a traditional religion worshipper to attend church.”
