Security operatives in Anambra State have arrested a herbalist, identified simply as Ezekiel with about 11 different human bones in his possession.

It was gathered that the suspect, who hails from Ezza in Ebonyi State was arrested over the weekend by security operatives in Neni, Anaocha Local Government Area of Anambra State, where he resides.

According to a video currently trending on social media, the security operatives raided the residence of the suspect, following a tip-off by whistleblowers on the suspicious activities they observed at his residence.

The video also showed bones of different human parts recovered from the suspect’s residence during the raid.

Speaking during interrogation by the security operatives, the suspect, also confirmed that the bones were human bones, but, however, claimed that they were brought to him by a relative from the part of Ebonyi State where there are ongoing communal clashes.

Ezekiel further revealed that he uses the bones to prepare different kinds of ‘high-quality charms’ for people and others.

In the video, one of the interrogators and a member of the security operatives that arrested the suspect was seen warning members of the community to always make inquiries and be very cautious of the kind of persons they rent out their houses to or accommodate in their apartment, as well as what their tenants do in their house.

He commended the whistleblower who gave them the information with which they embarked on the operation to arrest the suspect.

He further urged the people to always be security-conscious and voice out whenever they perceive or see any unusual or suspicious movement, as security is everybody’s business.

The Anambra State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Ikenga Tochukwu, who also confirmed the video, when contacted on Monday, further disclosed that the suspect was intercepted by vigilantes and police operatives from the Neni Division, who were on patrol.

“The suspect is currently in custody and undergoing interrogation. Further details on that will be communicated,” Ikenga added.

Matero Local Court, Zambia, has heard how a woman from Chisamba, sexually starved her husband for four years, after he failed to pay her K3,000 she charged him for having a child out of wedlock.

According to Zambia Observer, Sophia Kwale, 32, a teacher by profession, said in line with her tradition, as admission of guilt for having a child, her husband, Samuel Chongo, 38, was supposed to pay her the money commonly known as ‘ndapusa’ (admission of guilt).

“In my tradition, when a man has a child outside wedlock, he is supposed to apologise by paying ndapusa.

“This can be in money or material form.

“I asked him to pay me K3,000 only or he wasn’t going to have sex with me,” she said.

Sophia said her husband later refused to pay ndapusa but wanted to have sex with her, so she charged him K500 which he paid instantly before she allowed him to engage in the act.

“I charged him K500 to make love with me and he paid it instantly.

“This was only last month. Before that, we last had sex in 2021.

“I didn’t even enjoy the sex because it was forced,” she said.

This followed the submission of the report of the 7-man investigation panel chaired by Professor Francis Faduyile to the Commissioner for Health and Human Services, Dr Oyebanji Filani.

Recall the panel was constituted 11 days ago to investigate the claim made by a patient, Mr. Joshua Afolayan regarding a surgical procedure he underwent at the Ekiti State University Teaching Hospital (EKSUTH).

According to a statement by Filani, “Upon careful review of the report and its recommendations, the Ekiti State government has approved the following actions:

“That the surgeon who had primary responsibility for the surgery is to be dismissed from the service of the Ekiti State University Teaching Hospital (EKSUTH) with immediate effect.

“All members of the surgical team present in the theatre on the day of the operation are to be suspended from duty for a period of one month, pending further administrative review.

“The Ekiti State government will bear the full cost of a new kidney transplant for Afolayan, will take responsibility for his post-transplant care as well as transplant related medical maintenance for a period of two years.

Filani said that while the Ekiti State government continues to stand firmly behind the many dedicated and hardworking health professionals at EKSUTH and acknowledges their sacrifices and commitment to service, it would not hesitate to take decisive action where professional standards are breached.

“The government remains resolute in its commitment to protecting patients, upholding ethical and professional standards in healthcare delivery, and restoring and sustaining public confidence in the Ekiti State health system.
