Anambra Governor Chukwuma Soludo announces a crackdown on alleged fake pastors in the state, saying authorities have detained several individuals. Both outlets report that the move targets people who, according to Soludo, exploit vulnerable residents while preaching a “false gospel” of salvation. The governor frames the action as part of efforts to make Anambra safer and reduce social deception and related vices. The Punch reports that Soludo vows to continue the operation, highlighting arrests of those he describes as fake pastors. Premium Times adds that the governor confirms detentions, describing the action as part of a broader mission to build a “new Anambra” free from deception. The reports do not provide detailed numbers of detainees, names, or specific legal charges in the excerpts shared, but they agree on the governor’s stance, the focus on alleged fraudulent religious activities, and the state’s use of arrests as enforcement. The crackdown is presented as an ongoing initiative by the Anambra government.
