Soludo warns native doctors on polluted streams

Governor Soludo warned native doctors against polluting rivers with ritual practices. He spoke to APGA supporters in Awka on Thursday, asking residents to help clean up the state. The governor stressed that people need those water sources for drinking, cooking, and household tasks. He told ritual performers to use buckets instead of contaminating public waters. He explained that dirty water makes communities sick.

The state's current arrests of certain native doctors caused some backlash from traditional groups. Soludo clarified he targeted criminals, not genuine traditional worshipers. He criticized fake native doctors who trick young people with promises of instant wealth. The former bank chief told youth not to believe these scammers. He emphasized that native doctors cannot make anyone rich without hard work.

The governor wants citizens to join his mission of rescuing and reclaiming Anambra state from criminal activities. His campaign focuses on protecting public resources from harmful practices disguised as tradition. The crackdown aims to protect vulnerable youth from exploitation. Local officials support these efforts to maintain clean water supplies. Residents have expressed mixed reactions to the governor's statements.
