From Miracle Stickers to Spiritual Dragons: EFCC Grills Prophet Who Allegedly Sold ‘Holy Ghost Thunder’ to Fight Baba Ijebu’s Spiritual Army

Matilda Omonaiye/

Members of a church in Enugu allegedly bought 1,000 pieces of what was described as “Holy Ghost Thunder” at N38,000 each to help their prophet wage a spiritual battle against Baba Ijebu’s army and unlock a purported N33 billion lottery jackpot.

The extraordinary allegation emerged as operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) commenced investigations into Godwin Sunday Ajuluchukwucheya, also known as Prophet Sunday Koboko, over claims that he defrauded members of his ministry of N70.39 million through a web of spiritual products, miracle promises and investment schemes.

According to the EFCC, one church member told investigators that the self-acclaimed prophet announced he had won N33 billion through Baba Ijebu but claimed the money could not be released because of powerful spiritual forces working against him.

To overcome the obstacle, the prophet allegedly urged members of his congregation to buy “Holy Ghost Thunder” to help destroy the spiritual army preventing him from accessing the winnings.

“He sold each of the spiritual thunder for N38,000 and we had to buy 1,000 pieces to fight Baba Ijebu’s spiritual army,” the witness was quoted as saying.

The allegation is one of several now being investigated by the anti-graft agency following a petition that opened the door to a flood of complaints from members of the ministry.

Investigators said they uncovered a pattern in which followers were allegedly persuaded to buy products and participate in schemes promoted as pathways to prosperity and supernatural breakthroughs.

Among the products allegedly sold to worshippers were miracle stickers, spiritual dragons and Holy Ghost Thunder.

One victim told investigators he purchased Holy Ghost Thunder after being assured it would solve his problems, only for his situation to remain unchanged despite making the required payments.

Beyond the spiritual products, the EFCC said Ajuluchukwucheya allegedly encouraged members to invest in various ventures.

One of the petitioners, Okey Uwakwe, alleged that he paid N6.23 million after the prophet assured him he could spiritually influence his brother, who had lived abroad since 1997, to return home.

Uwakwe also claimed he paid N3.25 million for spiritual intervention aimed at helping his sister-in-law conceive after more than 15 years without a child.

The petitioner further alleged that he invested N3.35 million after the prophet promised church members that those who contributed financially to him would receive dividends from the purported N33 billion lottery winnings.

In another scheme, members were allegedly invited to contribute funds towards the purchase of a N1 billion rice processing machine, with assurances that they would become partners in the business.

Uwakwe said he invested N500,000 in the venture.

According to him, the total amount he paid to the suspect reached N13.33 million, yet none of the promised outcomes materialised.

The EFCC said additional members of the ministry later came forward with similar allegations, bringing the total amount allegedly collected from victims to N70.39 million.

The commission said investigations are ongoing and that the suspect will be charged in court upon their conclusion.
