Anambra State government has appealed to the people of the State, to provide information on fake pastors.
The appeal was contained in a press statement signed by the State Commissioner for Information and Value Reformation, Law Mefor PhD.
Mefor said that Anambra State Government, under the leadership of Prof. Charles Soludo, has extended the “War Against Fake Native Doctors” to fake pastors and other individuals masquerading as genuine men and women of God while engaging in criminal practices.
He said that the development is part of the efforts of the Solution Government to rid the state of all forms of criminality and sanitize both traditional worship and religious practices in order to restore sanity, law and order in the state.
“To this end, the government is calling on Ndị Anambra and all residents of the state with credible information on pastors, churches, or so-called “men of God” involved in criminality, extortion, fraud, deception, or any act that endangers lives and the peace of our communities or misleads the people in the state to please speak up.” Mefor said.
He stressed that all information will be treated with absolute confidentiality.
“Despite the negative claims made during the campaigns against the effort to clean up criminals pretending to be traditional healers and real religious leaders, this effort will actually protect the true freedom of traditional worship and religious practice.
“Let us work together to take back our state from criminals hiding under religion, culture and tradition. Call +2348034182108 or 5111 if you have any useful information.” He asserted.
