Men of the Anambra State vigilante operatives, known as Agunechemba, have arrested a popular celebrity ‘juju master’, Akwa Okuko Tiwaraki n’Oba.

According to a post on Soludo TV’s Facebook page, the arrest was made on Saturday.

Akwa Okuko was taken into custody for further investigation by the security agency, following allegations that he prepares juju for kidnappers who masquerade as yahoo boys, terrorising the state.

The arrest comes on the heels of the Anambra State Homeland Security Law, 2025, which imposes strict penalties on native doctors who prepare or administer charms, including the infamous ‘Odeshi’, ‘Okeite’, and ‘Mkpu Egbe’.

Offenders now face six years in prison, a N20 million fine, or both under the newly established law.

The law aims to curb the misuse of supernatural practices, which have been implicated in various criminal activities across the state.

It explicitly targets individuals who create charms believed to provide protection or wealth through unlawful means, as well as those who publicly promote such practices.
