In a bizarre twist to the kidnapping of Anambra native doctor, Chinedu Nwangwu, also known as Akwa Okuko Tiwaraki, reports have surfaced on social media claiming that he turned into a lion and scared his abductors. However, the Anambra State Police command has dismissed these rumors, asserting that efforts are still underway to secure his release.
The unsettling incident took place on Sunday night at a hotel in Oba, Idemili North local government area, where Nwangwu was kidnapped while his two aides were tragically shot dead. Following the incident, various social media platforms were abuzz with sensational claims that Nwangwu had transformed into a ferocious lion, causing his abductors to flee in terror, leaving him unharmed.
Despite the online speculation, law enforcement authorities have urged caution, stating that the information about the native doctor’s release is unsubstantiated. The Police Public Relations Officer for Anambra State, Mr. Tochukwu Ikenga, clarified that security operatives are diligently working to secure Nwangwu’s safe return, but there is no verified information on his release yet.
The conflicting reports have led to divided opinions on social media. While some users have taken to mocking the native doctor for being kidnapped despite his supposed extraordinary powers, others who appear to be his admirers have shared older videos claiming to show him transforming into a lion to scare his attackers.
Adding to the intrigue, an unnamed source in Oba has suggested that the entire kidnapping saga might be a ruse orchestrated by those who seek Nwangwu’s services, aiming to bolster his reputation for possessing extraordinary powers. This theory implies that the kidnapping could have been staged to create the illusion of the native doctor’s immense supernatural abilities.
As the situation unfolds, residents of Anambra State and social media users across the nation are closely monitoring updates regarding the kidnapped native doctor. The police continue to call for restraint and patience, reminding the public to refrain from spreading unverified information and sensationalizing the incident.
The authorities are working diligently to ensure the safe return of Chinedu Nwangwu, and investigations into the circumstances surrounding the kidnapping are ongoing. Until concrete evidence emerges, the mystery of the alleged transformation remains a topic of intense speculation on social media platforms.
