Anambra State government has urged the residents to support the government’s effort to check the activities of fake pastors and native doctors who indulge in diabolical practices by volunteering information to the authorities about such characters.
The state commissioner for Information and Value Reformation, Dr Law Mefor, who conveyed the government’s appeal in a statement made available to newsmen yesterday said the government would handle such information with “utmost confidentiality.”
He stated that the administration of Prof. Chukwuma Charles Soludo had extended the “War Against Fake Native Doctors” to fake pastors and other individuals masquerading as genuine men and women of God while engaging in criminal practices.
He said that the government was resolute to rid the state of all forms of criminality and sanitise both traditional worship and religious practices in order to restore sanity, law and order in the state.
“To this end, the government is calling on Ndị 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 or misleads the people in the state to please speak up. All information will be treated with absolute confidentiality”, the statement reads.
