Onyebuchi Okocha, popularly known as ‘Onyeze Jesus’, the Founder of Children of Light Anointing Ministries, Nkpor, Idemili North local government area of Anambra state has been arrested by operatives from Anambra Police Command, IgbereTV reports.

A source close to the investigation confirmed the news of his arrest to IgbereTV.

According to the source who does not wish to be named as he is not authorised to speak on the matter; “ 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.

They should have made the arrest after 28th January when he promised to raise 8 decayed dead bodies as he promised.

Now the rascal will have an excuse to hold on to. And nobody can ever say that he couldn't.

The police/government should have a section that study trends and know when to follow up. Onyeze would have faded out even without any arrest after 28th January.

Now, the stupid fraudster will even be more popular. SMH.

What pains me most is the titles they give themselves

Prophet,

Man of God

And so on

Can this one read the Bible?

adadike:
Good riddance! He wants to raise 8 decayed bodies? He wants to unleash demons onto the good people of Anambra. My people at that

Christie06:
Read Bible?
Someone that did not study beyond primary six(as stated in the write up)

I only pity the gullible people. See what he is making them go through all the name of seeking miracle, as if God is not for everyone.

Farm where A students become professors, doctors and engineers. B students become lawyers and MBA holders that mismanage doctors and engineers. C students become businessmen that build private universities paying professors and teachers very little. The D and F students go into the Army to kick out the Government as the armed robbers of the Treasury. Others that never attended schools become Prophets, Imam, Pastors and witch-doctors taking direct orders from God to command all of the above to follow them. How can such a country survive or manage free resources and incomes?

.......telling his gullible and brainwashed followers that their misfortune is caused by family members, relatives, friends and business associates through magical powers, he is fomenting serious troubles and instigating eternal enmity in various places and businesses. Some of these troubles can lead to physical fights, bodily injuries and even deaths.
