The police on Wednesday suspected the alleged ritual, Obi-Levi Obieze, in the North Enugu Judge Court due to alleged kidnapping and murder.
Obieze, known as “E Dey Play, E Dey Show,” was charged with a Sebastine office and Ejike Odinwamkpa.
The police charged a trio of accusations of three conspiracy counts, kidnapping, and murder.
However, the defendants claimed to be innocent when the indictment was read to them.
The head judge, OS Chukwuani, ordered them to be returned at the Enugu Correctional Center, while waiting for advice from the Director of Public Prosecution, the Ministry of Justice of the State of Enugu.
Chukwuani also said the defendants had the right to find a guarantee application in the State High Court.
Previously, the legal counsel, Judge Attah, told the court that the defendants and others are now in April 2025, conspiring among themselves to kidnap one Ukamaka Okoye (13), Chimaobi Ezi (15), and Joy Udokamma (31).

Attah added that the defendants allegedly killed Ezi and Udokamma.
He said the incident occurred in Umuojo ISIAUGUA, the Umumba community in the Ezeag Regional Government in the state of Enugu.
According to him, violations can be punished based on section 495 (a) of the Criminal Code 30, Vol LL, Revised Law of the State of Enugu, 2004, and 315 (2) Law of the Criminal Code (Amendment) of the Enugu State, No. 14, 2010.
The head of the judge postponed the trial in this case until August 20.
