Enugu ‘Native Doctor’ Unveils Shocking Truth Behind Viral Arrest

A man identified as Obi Levi Obieze, popularly known as Ezeani, has spoken out for the first time since his dramatic arrest sparked nationwide shock and speculation. Accused of ritual killings and attempted escape through a land border, Ezeani now claims he is the victim of a politically motivated setup tied to a traditional kingship dispute in his community.

In a video circulating on social media, the Enugu native is seen under interrogation by security officials after he was apprehended while allegedly trying to flee the country on a motorcycle. Authorities say his arrest followed a chilling discovery — human remains reportedly found in a soakaway pit within his compound, suggesting possible involvement in ritual activities.

But Ezeani, rejecting the native doctor label, insists the allegations are fabricated. Speaking in the footage, he said, “It’s a political issue. It’s something politics. Fabrication against me because I will be next of king and some people in my village don’t want me to be that next of king.”

He further distanced himself from the native doctor persona, stating: “I’m not a native doctor. I sell okrika, second-hand clothes. That is what I do for a living.”

The embattled man alleged that rivals colluded with the village chief to orchestrate the accusations in order to derail his kingship ambitions. “They set me up. Someone working for them planted a dead body in my soakaway,” he claimed, maintaining that he has a clean conscience and faith that justice will prevail.

Public opinion has been divided. While many online users expressed disbelief over the claims, others have called for thorough investigation and due process, rather than trial by social media.

Authorities have yet to confirm the full details of the investigation or whether any formal charges have been filed. Meanwhile, the case continues to stir conversations around traditional power struggles, political sabotage, and the deep-rooted fears surrounding ritual practices in some parts of Nigeria.
