AWKA, Nigeria – The popular billionaire celebrity native doctor in Anambra State, Akwa Okuko Tiwaraki n’Oba, has been arrested by security operatives of Anambra State’s Agunechemba.
According to a post on Soludo TV, Akwa Okuko was arrested on Saturday evening in Oba, Idemili South, Anambra State.
The post stated that he is being detained by security operatives for further investigation.
“Akwa Okuko Tiwaraki n’Oba denies Okeite and has been detained for further investigation by the security agency,” the post read.
He was arrested following allegations that he prepares charms for kidnappers who masquerade as Yahoo boys, terrorizing the state.
It is recalled that the state government enacted the Anambra State Homeland Security Law in 2025.
The new law imposes strict penalties on native doctors who prepare or administer charms, including the infamous ‘Odeshi’, ‘Okeite’, and ‘Mkpu Egbe’.
Offenders now face six years in prison, a N20 million fine, or both under the newly established law.
The law aims to curb the misuse of supernatural practices, which have been implicated in various criminal activities across the state.
Our correspondent learned that the law explicitly targets individuals who create charms believed to provide protection or wealth through unlawful means, as well as those who publicly promote such practices.
