Bodies of Pregnant Women Found in Soakaway at Enugu Native Doctor’s House After Girl’s Rescue

Umuojor, Enugu State – May 18, 2025 – Tension and horror have gripped the Umuojor village in the Umumba Ndiagu community of Ezeagu Local Government Area, Enugu State, following the gruesome discovery of two decomposing bodies of pregnant women inside the soakaway pits of a compound belonging to a well-known native doctor, Levi Obieze, popularly called Ezeani or ‘E de play, e de show’.

The chilling find was made during a search operation by local vigilantes after the kidnapping of a young girl who was walking with her father to the farm on Monday.

How the Abduction Happened

According to eyewitness reports, two men on a motorcycle approached the girl and her father, pretending their bike had broken down.

“One of the men asked the father for his cutlass to fix the motorcycle. While he was distracted, they grabbed the girl and sped off,” a source recounted.

The father’s cries for help drew the attention of the community's vigilante group, who immediately launched a manhunt.

Discovery at the Native Doctor’s Compound

Later that evening, residents reported hearing strange cries coming from a bush near the compound of the native doctor, prompting the vigilante group to head there. Upon arrival, Obieze allegedly tried to block access, but the team forced their way in and rescued the young girl.

However, during a more extensive search of the compound, they made a grisly discovery: two decomposing corpses of pregnant women, each found in separate soakaway pits within the premises.

Community in Shock, Investigation Underway

The community remains in a state of shock as many struggle to come to terms with the horrific revelations. Locals expressed outrage and fear, especially considering the native doctor’s long-standing presence in the area.

Authorities have been alerted, and investigations are underway to determine the full extent of the alleged crimes and whether more victims are involved.
