Residents of Umugbo community in Ayamelum Local Government Area of Anambra State have been left in shock after the arrest of a native doctor identified as Anagbo Emeka, who allegedly confessed to buying used male condoms from prostitutes for fetish purposes.
The Arrest and Confession
According to sources, the native doctor was apprehended following credible intelligence reports that linked him to strange fetish activities in the area. Upon interrogation, Emeka reportedly admitted that he purchased the used condoms directly from commercial sex workers in nearby towns.
He allegedly revealed that the items were not for any medical or research purpose but were specifically bought for ritual practices aimed at enhancing his spiritual powers and attracting more clients.
His confession has sparked outrage, with many questioning the extent of such fetish-related dealings and the dangers they pose to unsuspecting members of the public.
Fear and Outrage in the Community
The shocking revelation has caused fear and anger among residents of Umugbo and surrounding villages. Community elders expressed their disappointment, describing the incident as a serious affront to moral values and human dignity.
Some residents also raised concerns over the spiritual and health implications of fetish practices involving human waste products, warning that such acts could contribute to rising cases of insecurity and ritual-related crimes in the state.
A community leader, who pleaded anonymity, stated:
“We are deeply troubled that such evil practices are happening right here in our land. This is a wake-up call for both the government and security agencies to intensify surveillance on fetish activities masquerading as tradition.”
The Growing Trend of Ritual Practices
This incident is not isolated. In recent times, Anambra and neighboring states have witnessed several reports of ritual activities involving body parts, personal items, and even used intimate materials. Analysts believe the desperation for quick wealth, fame, or supposed supernatural powers has fueled the rise of such disturbing practices.
Security experts have also warned that fetish activities often come with criminal networks, exploitation of vulnerable people, and psychological harm to society at large.
Authorities Respond
Law enforcement officials confirmed the arrest of Emeka and assured the public that a full investigation is ongoing to uncover possible collaborators and to determine how widespread the practice may be. Authorities further urged residents to remain vigilant and to report suspicious activities in their communities.
A Call for Awareness
The shocking arrest of Anagbo Emeka has once again highlighted the urgent need for public enlightenment on the dangers of fetish practices. Religious and community leaders are being called upon to sensitize the youth against falling victim to ritualists or engaging in acts that threaten public safety and morality.
As the investigation continues, Nigerians are left wondering just how far some individuals are willing to go in their pursuit of power, influence, or wealth.
