What could have breached the palpable peace in Ukpor town, Nnewi South
LGA, Anambra state was averted on Sunday, June 18th when a ‘whistle
blower’ revealed to a particular family who owns a farmland at Umudim
village, beside Gate of heaven mortuary, along Onuselogu road that he
saw a man(name withheld by us) burying what looked like dangerous charms
in their farm when he decided to answer the call of nature in the bush.
Naaija.com reports thus:
The owner of the farm immediately alerted his son who resides in Onitsha on what happened.
Reports have it that, before 7am on Sunday, his son arrived Ukpor in
anger and vowed to deal with whoever that was involved in such act. The
whistle blower was called upon and reminded about the consequences of
false information but he sworn with their village deity that he saw the
man burying the charm.
Just like Nollywood movies, the owner of
the farm with his son accompanied by few other people immediately
proceeded to the house of the man who was accused of burying the charms.
On
getting there, the man denied ever engaging in such act but claimed
that one of his friends from Nnewi begged him to use the place for
something he ‘wasn’t aware of’ the previous day. A delegation was sent
to Nnewi to get the man but he was said to have ran away when he saw
people ‘invading’ his house in a suspicious manner.
The
accused was queried on why he allowed someone to use a land that
doesn’t belong to him but he claimed the man said he saw something
interesting in the land and that’s probably why he decided to use it.
In a twinkle of an eye, the “whole of Ukpor” gathered in Umudim waiting for the drama to unfold.
The youths equally gathered in their numbers and threatened to beat him up if he didn’t want to say the truth.
The man later confessed that he actually buried the
charms there with the help of other 3 native doctors. He equally agreed
to exhume them if only the youth would spare his life.
