Tragedy struck in Ugbaike, Igbo-Eze North LGA, Enugu State, when a young man Mr. Chikwado Eze, who had just got a visa to travel abroad, sought his father’s blessings. His father suggested consulting a native doctor for fortification rituals.

The native doctor, Onuwa, prescribed burying Chikwado alive for one hour, thirty minutes. After which they exhumed him, to find out Chikwado had passed on.

Immediately Police came and arrested his father, Uwakwe, and the native doctor.

This heart breaking incident highlights the dangers of harmful traditional practices and the importance of seeking guidance from credible sources.

May Chikwado’s soul rest in peace, and may this tragic event serve as a cautionary tale.
