BREAKING NEWS: ANAMBRA POPULAR NATIVE DOCTOR “AKATAKA DIBIA” ARRESTED SOUTH EAST DEMANDS ANSWERS
Shock and outrage are spreading across Anambra and beyond following the arrest of popular young traditional practitioner, Akataka Dibia, in Awka on February 28, 2026.
Operatives of the state security outfit reportedly picked him up without a clear public explanation of the allegations against him. As of now, there has been no detailed statement outlining specific charges, and that silence is what is raising serious concerns.
This development comes amid intensified crackdowns under Governor Charles Chukwuma Soludo targeting activities the government links to criminal and ritual-related practices. While the fight against crime is necessary, citizens are now asking:
• What exactly is the accusation?
• Has he been formally charged?
• Is due process being followed?
• Or is this another example of selective enforcement?
When arrests happen without transparent communication, the public begins to question motives. When cultural practitioners are taken into custody without clear allegations presented, people begin to fear a broader pattern.
Security operations must be firm but they must also be fair.
Law enforcement must be strong but it must also be accountable.
The people of the South East deserve clarity, not rumors. They deserve facts, not silence.
If there is evidence, present it.
If there are charges, file them publicly.
If there is wrongdoing, prove it in court.
Until then, this arrest will continue to generate tension and debate across the region.
This is a developing story. Stay alert. Stay informed. And demand transparency.
Please share this information.
