A viral video featuring controversial Enugu native doctor, Ezeani, has surfaced online, capturing the moment he dedicated his newborn twins to the gods in what appears to be a traditional ritual ceremony.
The video, which has gained massive traction on social media platforms, particularly on X (formerly Twitter), shows Ezeani dressed in traditional attire, chanting prayers and performing rites over his infant children while invoking his deities.
This dramatic event comes in the wake of troubling reports surrounding Ezeani’s alleged involvement in ritualistic activities involving human sacrifice. Authorities have reportedly arrested him, following allegations that human remains were discovered within his residence, with several missing person cases now being linked to his shrine.
The situation escalated further when students from a secondary school in Anambra stormed Ezeani’s compound, raining curses and demanding justice for a missing schoolmate they believe was one of his alleged victims.
Despite the disturbing accusations, Ezeani was seen in the now-viral clip calmly carrying out what he described as a sacred dedication rite for his newborns. This act has triggered a wave of reactions from Nigerians online, with many condemning the hypocrisy of seeking protection for his children while allegedly endangering the lives of others.
The ceremony, while culturally significant to some, has fueled debates over religious freedom versus moral and legal accountability, especially considering the dark cloud of ritualistic accusations hanging over the native doctor.
