The Anambra State Government has sealed the Ministry of Pastor Onyebuchi Okocha in Amafor village, Nkpor, Idemili North Local Government Area allegedly used for Oke ite practice.
Oke Ite is a concoction prepared by native doctors with human parts, animals and herbs gathered in a mud pot, and used for money rituals. The Anambra state government has since detected that it is a fraudulent way native doctors use to scam their unsuspecting customers and has launched a manhunt for them.
The Special Adviser to Governor Chukwuma Soludo on Community Security, Ken Emeakai, announced the closure of the church to newsmen when he led men of Operation Udo Ga-Achi to the ministry. He explained that they sealed the place and premises of the fake pastor following petitions received from members of the public about the activities of Pastor Okocha and a video they watched where he said that he does Oke ite and all manner of things for people.
Emeakai further said that the government will subject liquid containers found in the ministry to forensic tests and pointed out that the state government is not against any religion but would not encourage those that promote get-rich-quick syndrome.
He also assured that the government will bring forensic experts to take samples from River Bethsaida used by the Pastor who is also known as Aka na asa uchu to bathe people naked to determine the level of hazard it could be causing to human beings.
