Commissioner denies anti-traditional faith stance as state targets crime.
Some native doctors and traditional medicine practitioners, referred to as Ndi Dibia and Ezenwanyi in Anambra State, have protested against alleged selective justice by the state government.
They claimed that the use of Agunaechemba security operatives was a witch-hunt, anti-traditional faith, and a violation of their constitutionally-backed fundamental rights to practise the religion of their choice.
The native doctors, who gathered from various parts of the state, decried what they termed the stigmatisation of their profession by the state government, which they accused of using Agunaechemba to harass and crack down on their activities.
During the protest, they offered prayers and performed rituals to resist what they described as the governor’s interference. (Guardian)
