Governor David Umahi of Ebonyi State has ordered all native
doctors and traditional medicine dealers in the state to register with the
state government and the police.
Umahi directed them to register with the state government
within seven days.
He gave the order after the weekly state security council
meeting in Abakaliki, the state capital on Wednesday, NAN reports.
The governor warned that those who flout his directive would
be arrested and made to face the wrath of the law.
“There would be an executive order to this effect and anyone
caught doing otherwise would be arrested and prosecuted,” he said.
Umahi also ordered that all wake-keeps and other social
activities in the state must end by 6 p.m.
He directed council chairmen and security agents to enforce
the order.
The governor put one million Naira as fine for offenders of
the directive.
“Anyone who defies this directive would pay a fine of N1
million as criminal activities are perpetrated through these wake-keeps which
last through the night,” he said.
