Policeman

The sleepy Umumba Ndiagu community in Ezeagu Local Government Area, Enugu State, Tuesday, erupted in anger when the youths of the community alleged a member of the community, said to be a native doctor, known as Ichie Millions, also called Ezeani, who claimed to be a businessman, was using his vast compound for kidnapping and criminal activities.

They also alleged that it was discovered that the native doctor kills and buries people alive in his compound.

To search for the truth, the youths of the community invaded the compound and to their bewilderment, discovered that the native doctor, Ezeani, had soak away pits that were said to be filled with the dead bodies of human beings.

He allegedly kidnapped his victims, including pregnant women and children, and buried them alive for ritual purposes.
The discovery threw the community into shock and sadness prompting the youths to attack and burn his house.

A trending viral video was seen when the youths ransacked the houses in the compound, including what they said was his shrine.
The community was said to have discovered these dastardly acts after Ezeani was alleged to have been caught kidnapping a 13-year-old minor in his community.

This led to a probe of his activities, which further led to the unveiling of a can of worms in his palatial building, parked with exotic cars.

The community alleged that he was found to have buried several victims alive in a soak-away pit in his compound.

13-year-old victim’s story

“My father and I went to fetch firewood, which we will use to fry our garri. His men came and asked my dad for his cutlass, which he gave them. Suddenly, they grabbed me and kept me in a pit they had dug. I then started crying and the Neighborhood Watch operatives heard my cry and came to rescue me,” the little girl rescued from the hands of Ezeani recounted in a viral video.
