Panic in Anambra as three children die in suspected native doctor’s home
The bodies of three children have been discovered at the residence of a woman suspected to be a native doctor in Ideani community, Idemili North Local Government Area of Anambra State.
According to reports, a fourth person was found alive at the property and was immediately taken to a hospital for medical examination. The bodies of the deceased children have since been moved to a mortuary.
The identities of the victims, believed to be between six and 15 years old, have yet to be established.
Authorities have also not confirmed the cause of their deaths, as investigations into the incident are ongoing.
Sources in the community said the children might have been workers at the residence of the woman, who is also involved in livestock rearing, or possibly her biological children.
The woman, whose identity has not been disclosed, was reportedly arrested by the police and is currently being held at the Ogidi Police Division in Idemili North Local Government Area.
The Anambra State Police Command has yet to issue an official statement on the incident.
A video circulating on social media showed police officers at the residence following the discovery, while the woman was seen being taken away by security operatives.
Authorities are expected to provide further details as investigations continue.
