Speaker 1: Monarch in Delta State, his Royal Highness Epiphany as Day.
Speaker 1: The assage Bar of Asaba has banned a particular group
Speaker 1: of female spiritual native doctors known as Eisenmani from Asaba,
Speaker 1: the Delta State capital, following the kidnapping and subsequent killing
Speaker 1: of Anambrastate lawmaker, Justice Chukunnye Azuka, who suspected killer's kimpin
Speaker 1: was trust to a shrine in Delta State. Honorable Azuka,
Speaker 1: who's remains was laid instead at a special clinary session
Speaker 1: inside an Ambra State House of Assembly complex in Oca
Speaker 1: on Friday, was kidnapped on his way home for Christmas
Speaker 1: on December twenty fourth, twenty twenty four, and his lifeless
Speaker 1: body was found near riveran Nijer Bridge. Earlier this month,
Speaker 1: the assag Bar of Asaba, who spoke in the local dialect,
Speaker 1: said it has become necessary to burn Eisenmani and other
Speaker 1: ritual practitioners due to their alleged involvement in the rising
Speaker 1: crime rate in Asaba and its environs. In a press statement,
Speaker 1: aside the verbal pronouncements, the announcement of the band, the
Speaker 1: Executive Council of the Traditional Rulers in Asaba stated that
Speaker 1: arising from the Assatava Executive Council meeting Health Today the
Speaker 1: Elevels of February twenty twenty five, it is here I
Speaker 1: directed that, effective immediately, all the activities of udi ase
Speaker 1: Uani who are not natives of Asaba are totally banned.
Speaker 1: All non native traditional medicine practitioners who are not registered
Speaker 1: with the appropriated bodies will not be allowed to practice
Speaker 1: in Asaba. Also, effective immediately, non natives of Asaba are
Speaker 1: hereby restricted from visiting the only Chase Shrine. All non
Speaker 1: natives who wish to assess the only Chase Shrine must
Speaker 1: be registered by the two he Hazar in the Ahaba.
Speaker 1: Who wishes to visit what should I only shall get
Speaker 1: clearance from O two he Hazar. This is to enable
Speaker 1: close monitoring of those who visit the shrine. There will
Speaker 1: be severe consequences should anyone front the royal directives long
Speaker 1: leave His Royal Highness a such Bard Professor Epiphany Chiegobu
Speaker 1: as in gay as such bar Ahabah, while translating and
Speaker 1: interpreting the words of the Assage bar of Asaba. Funt
Speaker 1: Newspaper reported that this decision follows reports linking the murder
Speaker 1: of an anambrell Omeka, whose body was discovered on the
Speaker 1: Niger Bridge to native doctors and the shrine in Asabah.
Speaker 1: Expressing lip concern, the monarch emphasized that crimes committed within
Speaker 1: Asava directly impact its residents more than anyone else. He
Speaker 1: stressed that the ban on these native doctors was a
Speaker 1: proactive mason to call crime. Let us be on record
Speaker 1: that we support the government at all times. However, while
Speaker 1: supporting the government, there comes a time when we must
Speaker 1: take proactive steps. Anything that happens in Asaba effects us directly.
Speaker 1: He stated, it is distressing to hear that Asaba has
Speaker 1: become the focal point of these criminal activities. As a result,
Speaker 1: we have decided to take modules to end showpiece and
Speaker 1: order in our land. The monarch declared that the activities
Speaker 1: of z in money practitioners, particularly those not originally from Azaba,
Speaker 1: were now banned. He described their growing presence as troubling
Speaker 1: and their activities as the pharius. The murder of the
Speaker 1: anam Brando Mecha points to Asaba where money was cleared
Speaker 1: and where the shrine harboring the kingpaign was located. These
Speaker 1: native doctors seem to be added not only internet fraudsters,
Speaker 1: Yahu Yahu boys, but also kidnappers and other criminals. Therefore,
Speaker 1: we are banning them effective immediately. Furthermore, the monarch announced
Speaker 1: that all native doctors operated within Asaba must now register
Speaker 1: and be regulated. He stated that they would require clearance
Speaker 1: from the Autohas, the government legislative body of Asabah, before
Speaker 1: being allowed to operate. In addition, restrictions have been placed
Speaker 1: on visits to the shrine of the Asava Deity or Niche.
Speaker 1: The monarch noted that the shrine was being desecrated and
Speaker 1: misused for questionable purposes. Henceforth, no one, whether an imagen
Speaker 1: of Asaba or not, may visit the shrine without cry
Speaker 1: or approval from the o two he Hazard. The traditional
Speaker 1: ruler also raised concerns about the increasing influx of unknown
Speaker 1: individuals into Asaba, which he attributed to displacement from other areas.
Speaker 1: We no longer know who resides in Azaba. Many criminals
Speaker 1: now see Asaba as a self heaven, moving into various
Speaker 1: parts of the city to continue their unlawful activities. Therefore,
Speaker 1: we are launching opperasion law. Your tenants in Azaba under
Speaker 1: less initiative, landlords are required to maintain proper documents and
Speaker 1: an inventory of all tenants. This margule, according to the Monarch,
Speaker 1: will enable security agencies to sweetly identify individuals living in
Speaker 1: any particular building when necessary. This initiative will help ensure
Speaker 1: that those who have crossed over into Asaba do not
Speaker 1: find it easy to reside here. We want them to
Speaker 1: know that they can be identified and located at short notice. Additionally,
Speaker 1: the Assamchbar announced plans to deploy a palace appointed team
Speaker 1: to inspect hotels and review guest records. He stated that
Speaker 1: the place was already collaborating with security agencies to strengthen enforcement.
Speaker 1: We are committed to working with security agencies to ensure
Speaker 1: that criminals do not find refuge in Azaba. We will
Speaker 1: also be monitoring hotels to verify the identities of guests.
Speaker 1: These magles are necessary to restore other and self guard
Speaker 1: our land. The Monarch's pronouncements mark a significant step in
Speaker 1: Asaba's efforts to combat crime and enhance security within the community.
Speaker 1: It would be recalled that the Lifeless Body of Justice Azuka,
Speaker 1: the member representing Honitcha and North one constituency in the
Speaker 1: Annambers Tate's House of Assembly was found by security operatives
Speaker 1: near the Second Niger Bridge, with police saying the suspects
Speaker 1: behind the kidnapping and killing of the lawmeker were mostly
Speaker 1: between the age of nineteen and twenty, with some members
Speaker 1: of the public identifying one of the suspects to be
Speaker 1: sixteen years old, who only have an advanced or mature
Speaker 1: face and body structure that makes him looks older than
Speaker 1: his age. Azukah was reportedly kidnapped on December twenty fourth,
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four, along Gourgunawanpa Road in Inlandtown Onnicha while
Speaker 1: returning home for Christmas. He was abdopted at gunpoint in
Speaker 1: a swift operation that lasted less than five minutes. According
Speaker 1: to pont newspaper, The Lamecha a children of the level
Speaker 1: parts reclaimed his mandate following a court ruling that mollified
Speaker 1: the victory of Douglas EBuLa of the People's Democratic Party,
Speaker 1: who was initially declared the winner of the twenty twenty
Speaker 1: three election immediate past an ambrastate Commissioner of Police and
Speaker 1: again a monoem while parading the suspects behind the abduction
Speaker 1: and killing of the Anambras death. Lawmaker Justice as Luka
Speaker 1: stated that in the early hours of the sixth of
Speaker 1: February twenty twenty five, at the second Nijer Bridge, the
Speaker 1: joint security team comprising of the police and VG operatives
Speaker 1: on a mission to rescue the abducted honorable State House
Speaker 1: of Assembly member representing only chann of Honorable as Luca
Speaker 1: found his lifeless body. Added that the command operatives, in
Speaker 1: a joint operation with a number States vigilantes acting on
Speaker 1: intelligent land information, arrested nine suspects actively involved in the
Speaker 1: crime and recovered two pomp action guns. The former safe
Speaker 1: said one of the suspects, so Stell gunshot injury in

Speaker 1: twenty one years, David Orginly aged twenty five years, and
Speaker 1: the most notorious of them one Peter Sunday aged twenty
Speaker 1: years with a big tattoo inscription of no peace for

Speaker 1: the new Commissioner of Police in Anambra State, Ikoya Altigo,
Speaker 1: on Monday visited the sin of crime to condone with
Speaker 1: the family of three siblings that were killed and kept
Speaker 1: inside the fridge at Uluichi, a enemy area of Anambra
Speaker 1: stent while their mother was away from what at Ihiola.
Speaker 1: This as the state Governor, Professor Charles Chikuma Soludo with
Speaker 1: the Deputy Governor gil not on a cultural invasion being
Speaker 1: the operational commander always living mostly indigenous team of spiritual
Speaker 1: security operatives known as Agunakeba to invert and arrest Babalawos
Speaker 1: for spiritual native doctors under the practice of okity, a
Speaker 1: claimed spiritual practice of printing banklotes, which investigations have since
Speaker 1: unraveled to be false, most especially as wrongly propagated by
Speaker 1: Nigerian movie industry. The level in which human beings are
Speaker 1: seen in some of their movies to be vomiting bankloades
Speaker 1: as a sign of money ritual, although investigations have shown
Speaker 1: that there is no spiritual or ritual process that print bankloades.
Speaker 1: But what criminally minded babalas for spiritual native doctors do
Speaker 1: is to prepare a charm long often in ebuland as architect,
Speaker 1: to enable the applicants, including traders with legitimate businesses, to
Speaker 1: be able to start committing more crimes like Internet frauds
Speaker 1: or Yahoo Yahoo selling fruct products, cheating customers, kidnapping and robbery,

Speaker 1: Soludo over the arrest and the tension of a well
Speaker 1: known native doctor always on social media, Chilosia in one
Speaker 1: gou Aka Aqua okokontiwara Aki, accusing the governor of violating
Speaker 1: the rights to religious practice of the suspect as guaranteed

Speaker 1: harder on baballa Wu's which are spiritual letting doctors failing
Speaker 1: in security in the statemost, especially those under the religious
Speaker 1: practice of Okite or Azemoni that are widely believed to
Speaker 1: be responsible for the encouragement of people in t kid lapping, organs,
Speaker 1: harvesting money rituals, specifically rampant cases of stolen babies and
Speaker 1: boyfriends killing gold friends for money ritual purposes, with investigation
Speaker 1: indicating that some dangerous crimes in a number are committed
Speaker 1: by teenagers, minors or on their edged children, often misled
Speaker 1: and manipulated into the inhuman crimes by elderly ones, forcing
Speaker 1: the Anambras Tad government to enact a new law that
Speaker 1: is Stark Homeland Security or twenty twenty five that came
