An Anambra-based native doctor named Akwa Okuko Tiwaraki was abducted by gunmen in the Idemili North Local Government Area of the state. The incident took place on Sunday night when armed men stormed his hotel in the Oba community.

Sadly, his two bodyguards were shot dead during the abduction. The ease with which the operation was carried out has raised concerns in the community about the native doctor’s actual power and status.
