I Use Human Skull For Consultation –Herbalist

A 28-year-old herbalist, Oluebube Nwachukwu, has told the police in Abia State that he usually consults mediums with human skull and bone found with him. Nwachukwu, who was arrested at Amangwo, Olokoro, in Umuahia South Local Government Area, was among suspects paraded yesterday by the state Commissioner of Police, Mr. Leye Oyebade. Oyebade said Nwachukwu was arrested on Sunday through “information by a good citizen, with a skull and bone suspected to be that of a murdered victim”. But the suspect said he inherited the items from his late uncle, who was also a herbalist.
Nwachukwu said the human skull, the bone and the other items were not as fresh as they appeared because they were older than him. He said: “I have no regret over my arrest since we don’t use the power to hurt anyone, or do we block the success of others with it.”

According to him, he has been in the business of consulting mediums in the past six years. He said: “I use the items for incantation when people come to me for help.”

Nwachukwu gave the name of his shrine as Miracle Spiritual Temple, Olokoro. According to him, the police would not have been able to arrest him but for the family members who arrested him and handed him over to the police. He said: “My family members arrested me and handed me over to the police because they are not comfortable with what I do.

Some of the things I do frighten them and so they told the police that I want to kill them.”

According to him, he works for people who consult him for madness, convulsion or any other kind of problem. Aside the human skull and bone, he was also in possession of snail shells, a small bell, a carved female head and the head of a dead animal. Other suspects paraded were Chibueze Nzerem, arrested for armed robbery, Ben Ozinna, involved in the production of fake food drinks and a suspected fraudster, Samuel Kalu.
