Governor Soludo Launches Campaign Against Fraudulent Pastors

Anambra State Governor, Chukwuma Soludo, has urged citizens and residents to actively support the government’s campaign against fake pastors operating in the state.

The call came in a statement by the Commissioner for Information and Value Reformation, Dr. Law Mefor, on Tuesday in Awka, the state capital.

Soludo asked the public to provide credible information on individuals disguising themselves as clergymen while engaging in criminal activities.

According to the commissioner, the Soludo administration has developed strategies to confront fake pastors and native doctors directly at their doorsteps as part of a broader effort to eradicate criminality and restore order across the state.

“The government is calling on Ndi Anambra and all residents of the state with credible information on pastors, churches, or so‑called ‘men of God’ involved in criminality, extortion, fraud, deception, or any act that endangers lives and the peace of our communities, to please speak up,” Mefor said.

The commissioner added that the move is part of the Solution Government’s determination to sanitize both traditional worship and religious practices in the state, assuring residents that all information received would be treated with utmost confidentiality to protect informants.

“Let us work together to take back our state from criminals hiding under religion, culture, and tradition,” he said.
