The news that Muo Miri Afuruanya has been arrested by the Anambra State Government under Governor Soludo has raised many questions among people.

Many people have always claimed that Muo Miri is a powerful spiritual being, a “water spirit” or even a ghost. But if that is truly the case, people are now asking: how can human beings arrest a ghost?

If Muo Miri Afuruanya truly had the powers people claimed, shouldn’t he have sensed that Governor Soludo and the Agunechemba security team were coming for him? Wouldn’t he have disappeared before they arrived?

Some people are even jokingly asking whether his supposed mother, Mammy Water, was asleep when the arrest happened, or maybe she had gone to the River Niger.

To many observers, the situation simply shows that these claims of supernatural powers may not be real. If someone who is said to be a powerful water spirit cannot even disappear when security agents arrive, then it raises serious doubts about the stories surrounding such figures.

Many people are now saying that some of these well-known native doctors — including names like Akwa Okuko, Eke Hit, and Onye Eze — may simply be deceiving their followers. According to critics, many followers strongly believe in them, but the recent events are making people question whether it is all just a setup.

At the same time, some people are calling on Governor Soludo to extend the same level of scrutiny to religious leaders as well. They argue that if the government is investigating native doctors, then it should also look into some pastors who may be misleading people or engaging in questionable activities.

For many citizens, the message is simple: what is good for the goose should also be good for the gander. If the government is determined to clean up fraudulent spiritual practices in society, then it should apply the same standard to everyone.
