doctor, Theophilus Attama, from Umuopu Umueze in Igboeze North Local Government Area for encouraging kidnapping and armed robbery.
Attama, also known as `Ejeje', was nabbed on the Christmas day by the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) following the confessions of one Paschal Onah alias Achisa, a member of a kidnap gang.
A statement from the command's spokesman, Mr Ebere Amaraizu, on Friday said Attama was among the native doctors implicated because of their role in crime perpetration and connivance.
The statement said Onah was arrested for his role in the
kidnap of Madam Adiza Ogbo, her subsequent death and her
quick burial in his residence in a shallow grave after about
one week of her abduction.
The suspect allegedly collected N300,000 from late Adiza Ogbo's sons and relations to set her free from their net which was later discovered to be Onah's house.
"Attama is one of the native doctors that prepared charm for
the group for their operations for which they paid him
N50,000 or more.
The statement said the native doctor had revealed how a
charm to compel kidnap victims' relations to quickly agree to
pay ransom demanded by the kidnappers was prepared.
It further revealed how he prepared charms against "accident
and general protection" to avoid the kidnappers from being
harmed and to escape from any form of danger.
The statement also said that Attama was currently helping the
police with further information about his role in the kidnap of
a foreigner.
Late Madam Adiza Ogbo was abducted and a ransom was
demanded by her abductors before she allegedly died in their
net, prompting them to bury her in a shallow grave inside the
compound where she was kept.
