A young man identified as Chikwado Eze has reportedly died while seeking spiritual fortifications and financial breakthrough from a native doctor.
The Point reliably gathered that Eze died after the herbalist he consulted buried him alive as part of the fortification procedures.
The deceased, 33, was an indigene of Ugbaike community in Enugu Ezike town of Igbo-Eze North Local Government Area of Enugu State where the incident happened last week.
Sources in the community said that Eze had recently obtained a visa to travel abroad in search of greener pastures before his tragic death.
They disclosed that the deceased’s father, Pa. Eze had insisted that his son would be spiritually fortified so that he would blossom financially in the foreign land in whatever he lays his hands on.
Pa. Eze reportedly took his son to a herbalist home in the community for the financial breakthrough exercise.
The herbalist had informed them that Chikwado would have to be buried alive for him before his desires could be realised abroad.
After they consented, the young man was said to have failed to wake up after he was exhumed some minutes after the burial.
“He got a visa to travel abroad then his father insisted he will be fortified before going, he now took him to his native doctor who suggested that this boy will be buried first for his dream to manifest abroad.
“They now proceeded, along the line, he lost his life in the grave. The deceased is Chikwado Eze by name from Ugbaike in Enugu Ezike,” a source said.
Meanwhile, the development has thrown the entire community into shock as news of Chikwado’s death filtered in.
Efforts to contact the police were not successful as at the time of filing this report.
