Why Anambra Govt Should Alert Bishops About Fake Pastors, Not Arrest Them—Rev Fr Obiefuna

Rev Fr Prof Boniface Obiefuna, retired Professor of Religion and Society at Nnamdi Azikiwe University and Assistant National Coordinator of Catholic Charismatic Renewal of Nigeria, speaks on the recent arraignment of eight alleged “fake” pastors in Anambra. He stresses that ordination and the authority to recognize genuine ministers rest with religious bodies, not government courts. True miracles, he explains, are divine interventions that defy medical explanation, while staged healings for publicity harm both faith and society. Obiefuna warns that exploiting people’s trust in God undermines social fabric and security. He also reminds ministers that the Bible emphasizes work over idleness, urging authenticity and diligence in every ministry.
