An Anambra State High Court in Awka sentences native doctor Ekene Igboekweze, popularly known as “Eke Hit,” to 12 years’ imprisonment. Both outlets report the conviction stems from alleged kidnapping, use of protective charms, and money rituals.
Premium Times says Igboekweze and other suspects are arraigned on 4 April 2025 on charges including conspiracy, kidnapping, protective charms and money rituals. Vanguard reports the case is decided by Justice Jude Obiora, who imposes six years’ imprisonment on each of two counts. While the two reports largely match on the named defendant, term length, and the core allegations, they differ in the amount of detail they provide on the broader set of co-accused and procedural chronology.
