Anambra State Governor, Chukwuma Soludo, said 23 indigenes of the state are currently on death row in Indonesia for drug-related offences.
Soludo made this known on Wednesday while addressing a group of All Progressives Congress members who defected to the All Progressives Grand Alliance in support of his re-election bid.
“Go to Indonesia, 23 Ndi Anambra are on death row there for drug-related offences,” he said.
He attributed the development to the influence of fake native doctors who deceive young people into believing they can evade security checks when smuggling drugs by using charms.
“These native doctors will deceive you that they will prepare a charm that when you carry drugs and enter the airport, the white man’s scanner will go blind.
“These young people believe them, and today, many of our people are languishing in jail across the world,” he stated.
Soludo warned that anyone caught making such deceptive claims would be arrested, noting that many of the self-proclaimed native doctors could not even use their so-called powers to improve their own lives.
The governor added, “One of the native doctors who is in detention, his son is a waiter in a hotel in Nnewi. If it was that simple, why didn’t he make his son a millionaire?
“Those were people who believed that if you did the wrong thing, you could be killed by the gods of the land. But what these new crop of criminal native doctors are doing is deceit, and we will not allow that to continue,” he said.
Soludo reaffirmed his administration’s resolve to continue the clampdown on promoters of Oke ite and other get-rich-quick schemes.
