Anambra State Governor, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, has clarified the conditions under which he might consider pardoning native doctors currently facing trial for alleged involvement in criminal practices.

Those in detention include Chigozie Nwangu, popularly known as Akwa Okuko Tiwara Aki of Oba, Eke Hit of Okija, and Onyeze Jesus of Nkpor. They were arrested in February on charges of promoting get-rich-quick ideologies, preparing charms for suspected criminals, and misleading youths into believing in wealth without hard work.

During a visit to Oba, some youths appealed to the governor to intervene and secure the release of Nwangu. Responding, Soludo explained that the matter was already in court and therefore outside his direct control.

• “You are asking for the release of Akwa Okuko, but I want to say that there is a process. Where we are now is the process of the court. If he is found guilty and convicted, after that, your leaders can meet with me, and we can discuss the possibility of a pardon,” he said.

The governor acknowledged the concerns of the community but stressed that the activities of the detained individuals had negatively influenced young people in the state. He urged the youths to support the fight against social vices, including drug abuse, kidnapping, and the obsession with “fast money,” while pledging his administration’s commitment to upholding the values of hard work and integrity.
