Domestic worker cuts off woman’s private parts for money rituals in Anambra

A domestic worker, identified as Onyebuchi Ezeh reportedly cut of the private parts of a 72-year-old woman, including other parts of her body for purposes of money ritual.

The incident happened in Umunze, Orumba North Local Government Area, on Thursday, and the aged victim was rescued by neighbours, who later took her to the hospital.

Ezeh, who was later caught confessed that he and some friends committed the act on the instruction of a native doctor, who had promised to make them rich if they brought the required organs.

Media assistant to the commissioner for women affairs and social welfare, Miss Chidinma Ikeanyionwu, disclosed this to journalists on Sunday.

Mrs Chidinma said: “The incident was discovered after the survivor raised the alarm on Thursday. One of her workers alongside two other men stampeded her in her house and cut off her genital organs including nipple, ear, fingers among others.

“The culprit by name Onyebuchi Ezeh who was later caught, confessed that they were sent by a native doctor to get the needed organs of the 72-year-old woman in order to become billionaires.”

“The culprit hails from Abakaliki in Ebonyi state, and usually helps the victim in cutting palm-trees. He was said to have explained that they embarked on the act because they wanted to get rich according to the assurances of the native doctor.”

She added that Onyebuchi Ezeh is currently at the State Criminal Investigative Department of the Anambra State Police Command, Awka and will soon be arraigned before the Children and Gender Based Violence Magistrate Court in Awka, soon.
