Netizens weigh in as Anambra native doctor, Akwa Okuko, allegedly receives charges

The internet is buzzing with the news of Anambra native doctor, Chidozie Nwangwu, popularly known as Akwa Okuko, facing serious charges. Igbo History and Facts tweeted that he’s been hit with six charges by the Anambra state government, including alleged involvement in money r!tuals and suspected ties to drvg dealers, potentially landing him in prison for 20 years.

The reactions are pouring in, and it’s a mixed bag. One person questioned, “Is money ritual a cr!me?” This highlights a complex issue—where does cultural practice end and cr!m!nal activity begin? Another commentator called it a “proper witch hunt,” suggesting that Akwa Okuko is being made an example.

The debate about cultural sensitivity versus the rule of law is also raging. One insightful comment pointed out the double standard: “Respect for Igbo culture and traditions should not be mistaken for an endorsement of cr!m!nal!ty or harmful practices… If Chidozie Nwangwu (Akwa Okuko) is guilty of cr!mes… he should face the law. But at the same time, we must question the broader narrative: why is it that every time an Igbo traditionalist is accused of wrongdoing, the focus shifts to d3mønizing oracle worship rather than addressing the specific cr!més?”

Of course, some reactions are more lighthearted, with one person joking, “You mean he can’t disappear from custody & appear in his living room?” And another quipped, “I want to believe he has enough ch@rms to deliver himself from the encumbrances of the law.”

The serious accusations against Akwa Okuko, including potential drvg trafficking and sponsorship of k1dnapp3rs, are fueling calls for justice. One netizen stated, “Good. He should explain how he was able to acquire a fleet of cars from native doctoring… They are just as bad as politicians.”

The case is clearly raising important questions about accountability, cultural beliefs, and the fight against cr!me. What do you think?
