Shock and Outrage in Enugu Community as Native Doctor Allegedly Buries Pregnant Woman, Others Alive in Enugu
A deeply disturbing incident has thrown a community in Enugu State into a state of shock and mourning, following the arrest of a well-known native doctor named Levi Obieze, popularly known as Ezeani, who was allegedly caught by villagers after reportedly kidnapping and burying several individuals alive, including a pregnant woman and her mother.
The grim discovery was made within the suspect’s compound, where a soakaway pit served as the alleged burial site for his victims.
According to a viral video circulating widely on social media, the horrific revelation occurred at night as a crowd of distraught villagers gathered at the scene.
The video footage captured the tense and emotional atmosphere as locals watched in disbelief while the soakaway pit was being demolished. As the pit was broken open, what lay beneath confirmed the community’s worst fears—multiple human remains, reportedly buried alive.
Eyewitnesses at the scene claimed that several decomposing bodies were recovered from the pit. Among the deceased were a pregnant woman and her mother, whose tragic fate has sent ripples of grief and outrage throughout the community.
The chilling nature of the crime and the brutality involved have left many residents reeling, with some fearing there could be additional, as-yet-undiscovered victims.
In a related development, another viral video emerged showing one of the buildings allegedly used by the suspect for kidnapping operations being demolished. According to the voice heard in the background of the video, the demolition was carried out on the orders of the Enugu State Governor, Peter Mbah, as part of an immediate response to the unfolding tragedy.
The suspect, a native doctor known in the area for offering spiritual services, had reportedly operated in the community for years without raising suspicion. His reputation had earned him a level of local prominence, making the revelation of his alleged crimes all the more shocking for those who knew or had dealings with him.
As of the time of filing this report, law enforcement agencies have yet to issue an official statement regarding the incident. The lack of immediate commentary from authorities has contributed to mounting tension in the community, as residents demand swift justice and a thorough investigation into the full extent of the suspect’s alleged crimes.
The community remains in mourning, with widespread calls for transparency, accountability, and urgent action to prevent such heinous acts from occurring in the future. Investigations are expected to intensify in the coming days, as both state and local authorities face pressure to deliver justice and ensure public safety.
