By Our Reporter

Days after the Native Doctors operating in Anambra state protested against what they called stigmatization and witch hunting of their members, they have drawn a battle line, with a declaration to begin compilation of names of fake Pastors also operating in the for submission to the state government.

Native Doctors led by High Priest Ikele had accused the Anambra state government of harassing their members contending that their constitutional right to freedom of religion is being trampled upon.

They also contended that the state government failed to collaborate with them in its bid to fish out bad eggs among them, before launching widespread clampdown on traditional clerics and medical practitioners in the state.

They dismissed what the Soludo led government was doing as a calculated attempt at killing the Traditional Religion in Igbo land in the name of fighting criminality.

A a member of the protesting native doctors, Mazi Chukwuka Nwankwo who disclosed that the body has commenced the compilation of fake Pastors in Anambra state alleged that those fake pastors usually visit their shrines for spiritual assistance aimed at increasing the number of their church congregations.

“Our Governor is preaching ecumenism which means the union of all religions and we ask is the Traditional Religion not part of the ecumenism?”

“What are we talking about here? Those people that hold night vigils and perform miracles are fake and they come to us to obtain spiritual powers to increase the number of their congregation and we have always turned them down because it is against our religion to be defrauding innocent people”, he claimed.

“There some that go as far as other parts of the country to obtain powers and so called holy oil that they use in pushing people down in the name of anointing.”

He urged Governor Chukwuma Soludo to send security operatives under the Agunechemba to “those crusades and night vigils to understudy what they do in their churches and they rip off innocent people by compelling them to buy holy water , holy oil and holy handchiefs so that the People’s businesses would flourish and people pay huge sums of money to obtain those things and they are not paying taxes or levies to the state government ” he said.

“The Anambra state government should beam their searchlight on all these new generation churches because they are the worst set of swindlers and also convince us and the public that they are not out to witch hunt us the Native Doctors” he adds.
