Eight suspected fake pastors arrested in parts of Anambra State have been arraigned before the State High Court sitting in Awka over alleged violations of the 2025 Homeland Security Law recently passed by the state House of Assembly.

The defendants are Peter Chukwu, Chinedu Egwuonwu, Emeka Nwankpa, Ebele Nnachukwu, Ekeleme Chris Ugochukwu, Ndubisi Nnachukwu, Miracle Iruoma, and Chukwukadibia Ogwuama.

Most of the suspects were arrested in Onitsha and Awka, while others were picked up in different parts of the state during enforcement operations.
