Spiritual Leader Sentenced for Charms | Nigeria News

Spiritual leader Onye Eze Jesus, known as Onyebuchi Okocha, just got six years in prison and a 20 million naira fine after being convicted under Anambra State’s Homeland Security Law — a crackdown targeting fake spiritual practices allegedly tied to kidnappings and online scams. The judge ruled that anyone profiting from illegal charms or false spiritual claims faces jail and steep fines. This conviction follows a February 2025 security sweep that arrested dozens of spiritual figures, with the government framing the crackdown as essential to public safety and stopping scams disguised as religion.
