JUST IN: Anambra Government Arraigns Eight Suspected Fake Pastors for Alleged Violation of Homeland Security Law

The Government of Anambra State has reportedly arraigned eight suspected fake pastors over alleged violations of the state’s 2025 Homeland Security Law.

According to preliminary reports, the individuals were accused of operating without proper authorization and allegedly engaging in religious activities deemed to be in breach of the newly enacted security and regulatory framework designed to curb impersonation, fraud, and other related offenses.

Authorities say the Homeland Security Law was introduced to strengthen public safety measures, regulate sensitive activities, and ensure that individuals or groups operating within the state comply with established legal standards.

The arraignment marks one of the early enforcement actions under the law, signaling the government’s commitment to tightening oversight and addressing activities considered harmful to public order and trust.

Further details on the charges, court proceedings, and legal representation for the accused are expected as the case progresses.

The state government has reiterated its stance that all religious and public operators must adhere strictly to the law to avoid prosecution.

More updates are expected as the matter continues in court.
