Police arrests ‘Jesus’ in Anambra

The Police in Anambra has arrested controversial naked bath ‘money ritual’ Prophet, Oyebuchi Okocha, aka Onyeze Jesus, the Founder of Children of Light Anointing Ministries, Nkpor, Idemili North local government area of Anambra state.

IDOMA VOICE reports that Anambra state government through a statement issued by Mr C. Don Adinuba, the Commissioner for Information and Public Enlightenment, warned Onyeze Jesus against his practices which the government termed ‘criminal and indecent conduct in the name of religion’, and also ordered for his immediate arrest.

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.

Igbere TV quoted a source who does not wish to be named as he is not authorised to speak on the matter as saying; “ 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”.

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

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.
