Amother Anambra based popular spiritualist who also promotes quick riches on social media, Onyeze Jesus was over the weekend arrested.
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 recently.
.
The arrest is coming on the heels of Anambra State Governor, Prof Chukwuma Soludo's resolve to cleanse the state of fake native doctors promoting quick riches through "Oke Ite' ritual,
Onyeze Jesus gained notoriety for his controversial “quick riches” rituals, which involved taking followers including ladies to a river in Nkpor, where they would strip, hold rams, pray, while throwing money into the water.
This process which he often post on his Facebook page usually show his followers nude in the river, bathing, saying, "I must be rich this year, anything holding me from my money must be broken, my money must locate me, among others."
As the bathing is going on, the spiritualist would be heard in the background encouraging them, saying, "bath it out, "Ana Agwo Ona ele",meaning, We conjure and it happens.
Meanwhile, Onyeze had last year vanished from public glare lbut resurfaced with claims that he was kidnapped, accusing his mother-in-law of orchestrating the abduction.
He subsequently separated from his wife.
Onyeze on his return this time did not go back to his river rituals, instead he built a “Pool of Bethesda” at his residence and continued his practices under a new guise.
Security agencies have identified the activities of native doctors, who perform rituals for young men seeking quick wealth, as a significant contributor to the escalating cases of kidnapping and ritual killings
