DDM News

On Tuesday, the normally peaceful village of Umumba Ndiagu in Enugu State’s Ezeagu Local Government Area was thrown into turmoil after serious allegations surfaced against a local man known as Ichie Millions, also called Ezeani.

According to Diaspora digital media (DDM) reports, the youths of the community accused Ezeani, who is suspected to be a traditional spiritualist masquerading as a businessman, of using his large estate to carry out criminal activities.

These activities allegedly included kidnapping and ritual killings.

According to reports, the youths claimed that Ezeani was responsible for the brutal killing and live burial of several individuals within his compound.

Acting on these suspicions, the young men invaded the property.

To their shock, they reportedly discovered soak-away pits containing human corpses.

The allegations go further to claim that Ezeani abducted many victims, including pregnant women and children, whom he buried alive as part of ritual sacrifices.

These horrifying revelations sparked immense grief and anger among the residents, leading to the youths setting Ezeani’s home on fire.

A video circulating on social media showed the youths searching through buildings on the property, including what appeared to be a ritual shrine.

The revelations reportedly came to light after Ezeani was caught attempting to abduct a 13-year-old girl.

In a chilling testimony, the rescued girl recounted the terrifying incident.

She said, “My father and I had gone to fetch firewood to roast our garri.

His men approached and asked my father for his cutlass.

After he handed it over, they grabbed me and placed me in a dug-out pit.

I cried loudly until Neighborhood Watch members heard me and rescued me.”

Further investigations into Ezeani’s background revealed his opulent lifestyle, including ownership of exotic vehicles.

Locals believe many victims were buried alive within the pits on his estate.

This tragic event has left the community deeply shaken as they seek justice for the victims and demand swift action from authorities.
