An Anambra State High Court sitting in Awka has sentenced a self-acclaimed prophet and native doctor, Onyebuchi Okocha, popularly known as Onyeze Jesus, to six years’ imprisonment for offences under the Anambra Homeland Security Law.
The court also imposed a fine of ₦20 million on Okocha.
The conviction forms part of the Anambra State Government’s ongoing campaign against alleged fraudulent spiritual practices and criminal activities linked to some self-styled native doctors.
According to the prosecution, Okocha deceived members of the public by falsely claiming to possess supernatural powers and operating controversial spiritual schemes, including the widely publicised Oke-Ite rituals.
