A state high court in Enugu State has convicted and sentenced a self-acclaimed prophet, Godwin Ajuluchukwucheya, to one-year imprisonment for defrauding his church members of N136.4 million.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) prosecuted Mr Ajuluchukwucheya, according to a statement by the commission’s spokesman, Dele Oyewale, on Friday.
Mr Oyewale said Mr Ajuluchukwucheya, popularly known as Prophet Sunday Koboko, was prosecuted on a two-count charge of obtaining by false pretence and stealing to the tune of N136.4 million.
He said the self-acclaimed prophet was convicted when he was arraigned before the trial judge Justice H. O. Eya, but did not mention the date.
Count one of the charges alleged that Mr Ajuluchukwucheya with intent to defraud N136.4 million had, between 2023 to February 2025 in Enugu, falsely announced to his church members that he won N30 billion in a lotto game and then asked the members to contribute financially to him in order to receive dividends from the N30 billion.
