A High Court in Awka, Anambra State, has granted bail to popular Nnewi-based native doctor, Ikechukwu JohnPaul Ezenagu, also known as Mmuo Mmili Afuluanya (or Muomiri Afuluanya), in the sum of ₦50 million.
Ezenagu was arrested in March 2026 by operatives of the Anambra State security network, Agunechemba, over alleged violation of the state’s Homeland Security Law.
He was previously remanded at the Amawbia Correctional Centre after an earlier court appearance.
The court imposed strict conditions for the bail, including:
A gag order barring the defendant from speaking to the press or making public comments about the ongoing case.
Requirement to provide sureties acceptable to the court.
Forfeiture of property to the Anambra State Government if he jumps bail or fails to comply with the terms.
The case, which has drawn significant public attention amid the state government’s crackdown on certain traditional practices linked to crime, has been adjourned for further hearing.
This is the latest development in the trial. The allegations have not been proven in court, and the native doctor maintains his right to defend himself against the charges.
