Confusion as controversial Anambra native doctor, Akwa Okuku Tiwara Aki, allegedly kidnapped

By Emma Ogbuehi

Confusion continues to trail the alleged kidnap of controversial Anambra native doctor, Akwa Okuku Tiwara Aki (literally meaning an egg that breaks palm nuts). The native doctor based in his home town, Oba in Idemili North local government area of Anambra State was reportedly kidnapped on Sunday night in one of his relaxation centres, Triple P Hotel.

Akwa, as his admirers call him, was believed to possess power of disappearance, but ironically could not disappear when the kidnappers came for him.

His two personal aides were said to have been killed in the vicinity of the hotel before the kidnappers took him away.

Regarded as one of the strongest native doctors in Anambra State, it was a surprise that he was kidnapped with so much ease in his hotel, Triple P Hotel, which is one of the three hotels he built in Oba.

The Anambra State police command has confirmed his kidnap. According to the state Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, DSP Toochukwu Ikenga, the incident happened around 11:30pm last night.

The state Commissioner of Police, Aderemi Adeoye has already ordered operatives to go after his abductors and ensure his release.

The ease of his abduction has put a question mark on his rumoured strength and the reality of the story. A veteran journalist who hails from the state, expressed doubts on the genuineness of the kidnap incident, dismissing it as mere stunt by the native doctor. “Forget about the kidnap story. There is nothing beyond “Ndi Olu” (job men), a euphemism for fraudsters and 419 kingpins. I feel for the slain security agents and their families. They were mere victims of a deal”, he told our reporter on condition of anonymity.

In the meantime, many people have been trouping to his house in Oba to find out if truly he was kidnapped in view of the enormous powers he was believed to possess.

The kidnappers have also not made any contact with his family in terms of ransom to be paid.
