An Awka High Court has sentenced fake native doctor Onyebuchi Okocha, popularly known as Onyeze Jesus, to six years imprisonment with a fine of N20 million for involvement in money ritual activities.
Justice Jude Obiora ruled that the defendant admitted being the person in viral videos claiming he had the power to make people wealthy, but the claims of ritual murder or money doubling could not be proven.
The defendant broke down in tears, pleading for mercy, saying he had been in custody for 18 months and his wife and twin children depended on him. Seven suspected fake pastors arrested last month were also ordered remanded pending trial.
Key Points:
The sentence serves as a deterrent to others engaged in ritual fraud.
Victims of fake native doctors may be encouraged to report such practices.
The verdict reinforces the state’s Homeland Security Law against ritual activities.
The defendant’s emotional plea highlights the human cost of such crimes.
Timing of the ruling, amid ongoing arrests, signals sustained enforcement.
