Breaking: Anambra conman Pastor, Oyeze Jesus ‘who throw money’ in Rivers arrested

The self acclaimed Jesus of Anambra, also known as Onyeze Jesus who throws money inside rivers as means of purifying his adherents to get wealth, has been arrested by operatives of Anambra State Police Command.

The conman who’s real name is Onyebuchi Okocha is the Founder of Children of Light Anointing Ministries, Nkpor, Idemili North local Government Area of Anambra State.

Anambra State government threatened his arrest on Monday following criminal complaints against him by the victims of his manipulation, including those he commanded to bath naked on video recording.v

Anambra Government’s media which was monitored by CAPITAL POST on Thursday confirmed his arrest

A source close to the Police in the State said: “Onyeze Jesus is in police custody. He was arrested on Wednesday, 27th January 2021, and will likely be arraigned for various offences on Thursday, 28th January, 2021”.

Recall that on Monday, 25th January 2021, Anambra State Government through a statement issued by Mr C. Don Adinuba, the Commissioner for Information and Public Enlightenement warned Onyeze Jesus against his practices which the government termed ‘criminal and indecent conduct in the name of religion’.

Also, in a related statement, Anambra state Ministry of Health had on Wednesday, 27th January, 2021 warned hospitals and mortuaries operating in the state against allowing ‘Onyeze Jesus’ access to their facilities to carry out his widely publicised claim, and planned ‘magic’ that he would raise 7 corpses from the dead on the 28th of January, 2021.

Many people have expressed dismay over some of the videos that ‘Onyeze Jesus’ regularly posts on social media including parading people naked in a river (indecent exposure), abuse of the Nigerian Naira currency, animal cruelty and his get-rich – quick promises to gullible members of the public.

Those who know the self styled Prophet say that he is from Amafor village in Nkpor, is about 32 years of age, was once a bus conductor, and never studied beyond Primary Six.
