A powerful herbalist and a native doctor in Ozubulu, Ekwusigo local government area of Anambra State, Chief Chukwuemeka Okwummo has repented and abandoned the trade, saying he has now embraced Christianity.
At a special thanksgiving at St Michael’s Catholic Church, Ozubulu, Okwumuo told the congregation that he is now a converted Christian, even as he explained that he would still be using herbs to cure people without practising idolatry.
He said that his decision to embrace Christianity followed his miraculous recovery from a life- threatening ailment.
Addressing the congregation, the Vicar of Ozubulu Region of the Catholic Diocese of Nnewi, Very Rev Fr. Hyginus Aghaulor, expressed excitement about what God had done in the life of the native doctor.
Fr Aghaulor, who is also the Parish Priest of St. Michael’s Catholic Church, Amakwa Ozubulu, noted that Chief Okwummo had been healing sick people with the use of roots and herbs.
