Anambra Governor Exposes Money Ritual Scam

Governor Charles Soludo of Anambra State has launched an effort to expose the widespread and insidious scam perpetrated by purported native doctors and prophets who prey on the aspirations of young people with false promises of wealth through ritualistic practices. In a compelling public address delivered in Awka, Governor Soludo detailed the deceptive methodologies employed by these fraudulent individuals, highlighting their dangerous influence in convincing youths that supernatural powers can be harnessed to facilitate illegal activities. He specifically pointed to their assurances that charms and talismans can render them invisible to law enforcement and security technologies.

A particularly alarming aspect of Governor Soludo’s address was the direct link he established between these deceptive assurances and the tragic situation of 23 Anambra citizens currently facing capital punishment in Indonesia for drug-related offenses. He explained how these individuals were tragically misled into believing that they could smuggle drugs with impunity, relying on the false guarantees provided by these so-called spiritual guides.

Governor Soludo firmly debunked these dangerous claims, emphasizing the tangible and evidence-based approach of his administration in law enforcement, thereby addressing recent concerns surrounding the arrest of a pastor involved in similar activities.

In response to this disturbing trend, Governor Soludo declared a zero-tolerance policy towards those engaged in propagating these fraudulent schemes. He issued a clear warning that any individual found to be making such deceptive claims, preying on the naivety of the youth, and contributing to their engagement in illicit activities will be apprehended and subjected to the full force of the law. Governor Soludo called for a collective societal effort involving families, educational institutions, and religious bodies to educate young people about the dangers of these scams and to promote the values of hard work and honest endeavor as the true path to success.
