The Anambra State Government has sealed a popular church known as “Children of the Light Anointing Ministry” run by Pastor Onyebuchi Okocha, also known as “Onye Eze Jesus”, over alleged involvement in controversial “Oke-ite” traditional practice.

The church located in Amafor village, Nkpor in Idemili North Local Government Area of the state was sealed by operatives of the state security outfit, “Agunechemba” during their visit to the premises on Sunday.

During the visit to the site, some substances including containers and other items were found at the premises.

This was disclosed in a post on the Anambra State government X handle on Sunday.

This development, it was gathered marked the third high-profile crackdown on “quick riches” spiritualists in Anambra, following the crackdown and arrests of popular native doctors and individuals engaged in “Oke-ite” practices.

The state authorities also sealed some of their shrines for engaging in such activities.

It was gathered that “Oke Ite” is a concoction made from human parts, animals, and herbs mixed in a mud pot and used for money rituals and the state authorities have identified it as a fraudulent scheme used by native doctors to deceive unsuspecting victims.


Ken Emeakayi, the Special Adviser to the Anambra State governor, Chukwuma Soludo, on Community Security, also announced the closure of the church while leading of “Operation Udo Ga-Achi” to the site.

Emeakayi stated that the action was taken in response to public complaints and a video where the pastor allegedly itted to practising “Oke Ite” and other dubious rituals.

He said, “The state government will conduct forensic tests on liquid substances found at the ministry. While the state government does not oppose any religious practice, it will not tolerate those that promote a ‘get-rich-quick’ mentality.

“Additionally, forensic experts will analyse samples from River Bethsaida, where the spiritualist, also known as ‘Aka na Asa Uchu’, is said to conduct baths for individuals.

“The investigation aims to determine any potential health hazards associated with the practice. The Anambra State government remains committed to curbing fraudulent religious and ritualistic practices in the state.”

The spiritualist was said to have gained popularity for his style of taking followers to a river in Nkpor.

Numbers of ritualist in one town in Ogun state alone is far more than the whole of Southeast, in Jankara market in Lagos where they sale human parts, skull milling in Southwest is now a way of life, most corpses in west especially those buried in cemeteries they've removed their heads and other parts for ritual sacrifices in west, your political leaders and religious leaders can't stop them because they patronise them, they don't have the balls like what Soludo is doing, just like you guys spread cultism across Nigeria, the useless minds in Anambra learnt it from you guys and Soludo have signed it to law any body seeing doing ritual his house will be demolished, he/she will be jailed that's Anambra state law.
