The lifeless bodies of three children have been discovered in the home of a female native doctor also known as Ezenwanyi in Ideani community, Idemili North Local Government Area of Anambra State.
The bodies of the three children were discovered at the ‘Ezenwayi’s’ place at Umuoduba village, Ideani.
A fourth person found at her premises was discovered alive and had been taken to hospital.
The children whose ages were given as between 6-15 years have, however, not been identified, nor the circumstances of their death ascertained, but sources from the community said the children were either workers of the female native doctor as she rears pigs and birds, or her own children.
The woman is said to have been arrested and currently is in custody at the Ogidi Police Division for investigation. The deceased children were taken to the mortuary. The fourth person was taken to the hospital for medical attention, it was learnt.
As of the time of filing this report, the Anambra State Police command is yet to make a release about the incident nor disclose the identity of the woman.
A video seen on social media, however, showed police officers visiting the home of the suspect after the discovery of the bodies while the woman was seen being taken away.
