Thursday, June 18, 2026 - Operatives of the Enugu Zonal Directorate of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, have commenced investigations into the activities of one self-acclaimed prophet, Godwin Sunday Ajuluchukwucheya (a.k.a Prophet Sunday Koboko), for allegedly defrauding his church members to the tune of N70, 391, 600. 00 (Seventy million, Three Hundred and Ninety-one thousand, Six hundred Naira).
A statement from the commission says a petitioner identified
as Okey Uwakwe, alleged that Ajuluchukwucheya presented himself as a true man
of God, capable of luring his brother, who had travelled outside the country
since 1997, to return home. He also alleged that he paid the “prophet” the sum
of N6, 231, 400. 00 (Six million, Two hundred and Thirty-one thousand, Four
hundred Naira) for spiritual works.
According to the petitioner, the suspect equally deceived
him into believing that he had the power to make his sister-in-law who has been
childless for over 15 years to conceive. Ajuluchukwucheya allegedly collected
the sum of N3, 251, 200 (Three million, Two hundred and fifty-one thousand, Two
hundred Naira), also for spiritual works to that effect.
The petitioner further alleged that the suspect announced to
his church members that he had won N33, 000, 000, 000. 00 (Thirty-three billion
Naira) in lotto game, assuring that members who contribute financially to him,
shall receive dividends from the said N33billion. Again, the petitioner
allegedly contributed the sum of N3, 349, 000. 00 (Three Million, Three hundred
and Forty-nine thousand Naira).
The petitioner also alleged that members of
Ajuluchukwucheya’s ministry were also lured by the suspect to contribute to the
suspect’s rice processing machine worth N1billion to become partners in the
business. He allegedly contributed the sum of N500, 000. 00 (Five Hundred
Thousand Naira). He claimed that the total sum sent to the suspect was N13,
331, 600. 00 (Thirteen Million, Three Hundred and Thirty-one thousand, Six
hundred Naira), without results.
The commission stated that in the course of investigation,
members of the suspect’s ministry started flooding the Directorate with claims
of how they were defrauded by Ajuluchukwucheya. One of the members said,
“When I came
there (the ministry) a whole lot of things were going on as investments in the
church which I partook in virtually all of them…ranging from the issue of him
winning N33billion with Baba Ijebu.
He said the
money cannot be retrieved due to how huge the amount was. So, members of the
church will have to help him by buying holy ghost thunder to blast the
spiritual army being organized by Baba Ijebu. He sold each of the spiritual
thunder for N38, 000. 00 (Thirty Eight Thousand Naira) and we had to buy 1000
pieces to fight Baba Ijebu's spiritual army”.
The total amount that members of Ajuluchukwucheya’s church
alleged he took from them is N70, 391, 600. 00.
The commission said investigations showed that the suspect’s
modus operandi is luring the members of his ministry into buying his “products”
for prosperity which include; miracle sticker, spiritual dragon and holy ghost
thunder. One of the members and victim of the suspect said,
“he asked me
to do what they tagged holy ghost thunder, believing it was going to solve my
problems. I bought it, and after all the payments, nothing happened and my
problems still persisted”.
