Anambra State Governor, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, has pardoned Chidozie Nwangwu, a native doctor, and appointed him as the Youth Ambassador of Anambra State. Nwangwu, also known as “Akwa Okuko Tiwara Aki”, was convicted in February and sentenced to 11 months in prison for practicing “Okeite” and other related matters. He was also ordered to destroy his shrine and renounce his fetish practice.
Nwangwu pleaded guilty to charges related to promoting money rituals, quick wealth and the use of human parts for rituals. The Anambra State Homeland Security Law 2025 led to the arrest of eight native doctors, including Nwangwu, in 2025. The governor pardoned Nwangwu under the prerogative of mercy, making him an Ambassador for Youth Reformation in Anambra State.
