Security operatives in Anambra State have apprehended a herbalist named Ezekiel, who was found with 11 human bones in his possession. The arrest occurred in Neni, Anaocha Local Government Area, following a tip-off from vigilant locals.
Ezekiel, originally from Ezza in Ebonyi State, was detained over the weekend. A video circulating on social media shows security forces raiding his residence, where they discovered bones from various human parts. These bones were reportedly used by Ezekiel to create potent charms, a fact he admitted during interrogation.
The bones, according to Ezekiel, were brought to him by a relative from Ebonyi State, an area currently experiencing communal clashes. Despite this explanation, the discovery has sparked widespread concern.
