Friday, September 18, 2026 - Anambra State Governor, Prof Chukwuma Soludo, has pardoned popular native doctor, Chidozie Nwanyi, popularly known as Akwa Okuko Tiwara Aki.
Nwanyi, who was among eight native doctors arrested last
year for their involvement in the promotion of money rituals, quick wealth and
the use of human parts for rituals, had earlier this year entered a plea
bargain with the state government.
He was later offered a light sentence of 11 months and
incarcerated at the Nigeria Correctional Facility, Amawbia, Anambra State, and
also given the condition of renouncing his fetish practice and promising to
become an ambassador of youth reformation.
Nwangwu had accepted the conditions and had since been
serving his prison term until today, when Soludo pardoned him under the
prerogative of mercy, making him Ambassador for Youth Reformation in Anambra.
