Traditional Healers declare no more killing

Shuaibu said they have established a network of trackers to rid the menace of offensive charms in the various communities of Sierra Leone, adding, it thus sounds an alarm bell to all illegal practicing herbalists to comply with the requirements of the union to save their strains.
On the politicians he said: “They always come to weather the storm when elections are hovering. They would fail to work to impress their electorates and always banked on the services of the juju men, this is not going to work this time”, he declared.
Shuaibu said their secretariat is disapproving roaming herbalists that are not members of their union.

President Kabba said the hero in them is when they stay focused and committed to the avowed oath to fight the menace of death tolls which is their ambition to keep a charms arms free society. On the other hand he said the villain in them is when they reverse such gains to pursue their self interests.
However, the traditional healers’ prexy issued a restriction notice to members of the Poro Society who often perform mystery powers by mutilating parts of their bodies to stop frequenting such practices as some people are allergic to the sight of blood.
Saturday’s meeting hosted action plans to weed the various communities of wicked spirits and powers.
