The tragic case of Chikwado Celestine Eze, a 26-year-old Nigerian man who died during a ritual intended to fortify him for a trip abroad, has taken a disturbing turn. Enugu State Police Command recently announced the arrests of two individuals in connection with this incident: a native doctor named Enuwa Odugu, 48, and Uwakwe Eze, 67, the father of the deceased. They face charges of conspiracy and murder.
Chikwado Eze had recently obtained a visa to travel abroad in search of better opportunities. However, in a misguided attempt to secure wealth and protection, his father took him to a native doctor for a ritual believed to fortify him with magical charms. According to the police, Uwakwe Eze brought his son to the native doctor’s shrine with the intention of conducting rituals meant to enhance his chances of success overseas.

A statement from the police spokesperson, DSP Daniel Ndukwe, provided further details about the events that unfolded. Preliminary investigations revealed that during the ritual, Chikwado was placed inside a coffin and buried as part of the process. Tragically, he suffocated and died. Although he was quickly rushed to the hospital, medical personnel confirmed his death upon arrival. His body has since been deposited in the mortuary for preservation and an autopsy.
In the aftermath, the native doctor confessed to the authorities, claiming that Chikwado’s death was due to his failure to adhere to specific ritualistic rules he had prescribed. This revelation has raised serious questions about the practices involved in such rituals and the inherent dangers they pose.
