Dear Governor Charles Chukwuma Soludo
I write to express my deep concern and disappointment over the recent developments regarding the treatment of traditional worshippers in Anambra State. I know i am not from Anambra state but Kogi, a state that her citizens also believe in African tradition.
I have read report that you allegedly stated that if any native doctor can disappear from detention, you will allow them to practice freely. If this statement is true, it is not only erroneous but also a direct violation of fundamental human rights as enshrined in the Nigerian Constitution. We have three major religions in Nigeria comprises of Christians and Muslims who are not subjected to the same treatment.
Freedom of worship is a constitutional right that applies to all, regardless of religious affiliation. It is unacceptable for a government to target traditional religious practitioners while turning a blind eye to similar issues in other faiths. No church has ever been shut down because a pastor was accused of fake miracles or ritual practices, yet native doctors are being treated differently. This discriminatory stance sets a dangerous precedent that could destabilize the state and breed resentment among the people.
African traditions have always been rooted in love, unity, and cultural heritage. Attempting to suppress these practices under the guise of security measures is an affront to our ancestral beliefs and an insult to the dignity of the people you govern. It is crucial to remember that no native doctor arrested so far has been caught with human blood or body parts, meaning the government must provide concrete evidence of wrongdoing before taking such drastic actions.
Governor Soludo, I urge you to reconsider your approach before this escalates into a crisis that could divide the state. Persecuting a section of society based on their beliefs is unjust and could lead to unrest. The responsibility lies on you to uphold justice, fairness, and respect for all religious practices.
The world is watching, and history will judge your actions. I sincerely hope you choose the path of peace and fairness rather than oppression. There is still time to correct this course before irreversible damage is done.
Sincerely,
Omera Ugbede Opaluwa
