Nwangwu made the denial during interrogation by the Deputy Governor, Dr. Onyeka Ibezim, in his office at Government House, Anambra state.
The flamboyant spiritualist, known for his ostentatious lifestyle on social media, was picked up at his base in Oba, Idemili South LGA, on Saturday evening by operatives of the Anambra State security outfit, Agunechemba and swiftly taken to Ibezim’s office for interrogation.
During the session, Nwangwu said, “I have long stopped doing ‘Oke Ite’. That thing is not a charm. We just gave it the name ‘Oke Ite’ because we put it in a pot. In Igbo language, ‘Oke Ite’ means big pot.”
The news of his arrest was first posted on the official Anambra State X handle (formerly Twitter) on Saturday.
The post read: “Akwa Okuko Tiwaraki n’Oba denies Oke Ite and has been detained for further investigation by the security agency.”
His online fame stemmed from his controversial promotion of Oke Ite, attracting a large following, particularly among young people.
