The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) is investigating self-acclaimed cleric Godwin Sunday Ajuluchukwucheya, also known as Prophet Sunday Koboko, over allegations that he defrauded church members of about N70.39 million. Multiple reports say the EFCC’s Enugu Zonal Directorate is probing claims that he collected money from worshippers using promises of spiritual interventions and investment opportunities.
According to allegations cited by the EFCC and reported by outlets, petitioners claim the prophet received specific sums for purported spiritual purposes, including N6.23 million for assistance related to persuading a brother abroad to return to Nigeria and N3.25 million to help a sister-in-law conceive after years of childlessness. Further accusations include convincing members to contribute to a supposed N33 billion lottery win and to fund a rice-processing business valued at about N1 billion.
One petitioner, Okey Uwakwe, is reported to have paid a total of N13.33 million without receiving any benefit. Other church members also allege he sold items such as “holy ghost thunder,” “miracle stickers,” and “spiritual dragons.” The EFCC says investigations are ongoing and the suspect will be charged to court once the process is completed.
