Popular Nkpor Based Spiritualist Referred to as Onye Eze Jesus has been arrested by Anambra State Government.
Reasons for his arrest are yet unknown but there are pointers that the arrest was made in connection with the insecurity in Anambra State.
Onye Eze after vanishing from public view last year, Onyeze resurfaced with claims that he had been kidnapped, accusing his mother-in-law of orchestrating the abduction.
He later sent his wife packing.
However, rather than returning to his infamous river rituals, he built a ‘Pool of Bethesda’ at his residence, continuing his practices under a new guise.
His arrest marks the third high-profile crackdown on ‘quick riches’ spiritualists in Anambra, following the arrests of Akwa Ókùkó Tiwara Aki and Eke Hit.
The state government has intensified efforts to regulate native doctors, citing concerns over their alleged connections to fraud and insecurity.
Activities of the native doctors, who perform rituals for young men eager to get riches quick, have been identified by security agencies as a major contributor to the escalating cases of kidnapping and ritual killings that have become rampant lately.
Recall, Akwa Okuko tiwara Aki was arrested last week and was questioned.
He was released after investigation by security operatives after a day in police custody.
