Governor Charles Soludo of Anambra State has announced the commencement of a crackdown on fake pastors and prophets performing miracles in the state.
He disclosed that those arrested have been detained and that they were confessing.
Soludo challenged pastors and prophets claiming to be genuine to visit Amaku Hospital to perform miracles.
The governor made the disclosure while speaking at St. Patrick’s Cathedral during the All Knights Day of the Catholic Diocese of Awka, on Sunday.
He accused these false gospel ministers of deceiving vulnerable people in the state through their preaching of the “salvation without the cross.”
The governor charged church leadership in the state to harp on the fact that hard work pays.
Soludo said: “The state has commenced an ongoing crackdown on fake pastors who exploit the vulnerable by preaching gospel of ‘salvation without the cross.’
“As I speak now, several of them are already in custody and confessing.
“A new Anambra is in the offing, which must be clean and clear of such deception.
“We’ve arrested fake pastors and bishops. Whoever wants to perform miracle should come to Amaku Hospital.”
