An Awka High Court in Anambra State sentences Onyebuchi Okocha, popularly known as “Onyeze Jesus,” to six years in prison for misleading the public. Multiple outlets report that the court also orders him to pay a ₦20 million fine. The sentencing follows the prosecution of the doctor for allegedly presenting supernatural claims in a way the court found deceptive.
The reports identify Okocha as a “popular” native doctor and describe the case as part of wider enforcement actions in Anambra against alleged fake spiritual practitioners. One outlet notes that, around the same period, other suspected fake pastors were arrested and remanded in custody pending the outcome of their cases.
Across the sources, the key details align: the defendant’s name, his public alias, the court and location (Awka High Court, Anambra), the prison term (six years), and the monetary penalty (₦20 million).
