Insecurity: Umahi orders all native doctors to register with govt, police
Governor of Ebonyi State, David Umahi has ordered all native doctors and traditional medicine dealers in the state to register with the state government and the police.
Umahi gave a seven-day ultimatum.
“There would be an executive order to this effect and anyone caught doing otherwise would be arrested and prosecuted,” he said.
Umahi also ordered that all wake-keeps and other social activities in the state must end by 6 p.m.
He directed council chairmen and security agents to enforce the order.
The governor put one million Naira as fine for offenders of the directive.
“Anyone who defies this directive would pay a fine of N1 million as criminal activities are perpetrated through these wake-keeps which last through the night,” he said.
I really support the idea because there are many of them that are using traditional medicine to carry out there evil plan
what is there offence now……..
I hope with this registration, crime will reduce drastically if government can stand firm on the punishment
If the executive can uphold the law accordingly, the crime rate in the country will reduce
That’s good idea and I also support it and if they didn’t abide by it, they should be punished according to that law
