The court also ordered the demolition of his shrine in Oba, Idemili South Local Government Area. Nwangwu was among eight native doctors arrested in 2025 under the Anambra State Homeland Security Law. He was charged with promoting money rituals, promising quick wealth, and using human body parts for rituals. After accepting the conditions of renouncing his fetish practice and committing to youth reformation, Soludo granted him a pardon under the prerogative of mercy.
