A man has reportedly been banished from Umuizu, Okwulaga Afaraukwu Ibeku, in Umuahia, Abia State, after allegedly being caught attempting to bury suspected charms on farmland belonging to a member of the community.


The incident occurred on Saturday, October 17, 2026, and reportedly attracted the attention of residents and community youths.


According to information gathered, the man was apprehended by members of the community following allegations that he was attempting to bury objects believed to be charms on another person's farmland.


Following his apprehension, community youths took him to the palace of the traditional ruler of Okwulaga Afaraukwu Ibeku, His Royal Highness, Eze Edward Ibeabuchi, where the matter was brought before the monarch.


Addressing the incident, the traditional ruler reportedly condemned actions capable of threatening peace, unity and harmonious coexistence within the community.


He cautioned residents against engaging in activities that could create fear, suspicion, hostility or division among members of the community.


The monarch also urged the people to uphold good moral values, respect one another and embrace peaceful coexistence, stressing the importance of preserving the community's longstanding traditions and unity.


Following deliberations at the palace, the man was reportedly banished from the community over the alleged incident.


The development has generated reactions among residents and renewed discussions about traditional practices, community discipline and the need to address disputes through peaceful and lawful means.


As of the time of filing this report, it was not independently established what the objects allegedly found in the man's possession were intended for, while details of any police involvement remained unclear.
