Disclosing the development in a post on X, the Anambra State Government said that some containers and other substances were found in the environment.
The Special Adviser to Soludo, the Anambra State governor, Ken Emeakayi said that the closing of the church followed complaints from the public and a video where the pastor outrightly admitted to being involved with oké Ite.

“The state government will conduct forensic tests on liquid substances found at the ministry. While the state government does not oppose any religious practice, it will not tolerate those that promote a ‘get-rich-quick’ mentality.
“Additionally, forensic experts will analyse samples from River Bethsaida, where the spiritualist, also known as ‘Aka na Asa Uchu’, is said to conduct baths for individuals.
“The investigation aims to determine any potential health hazards associated with the practice. The Anambra State government remains committed to curbing fraudulent religious and ritualistic practices in the state,” he said.
