Governor Chukwuma Soludo of Anambra State has banned pastors from preaching on roads and in marketplaces, citing concerns over noise pollution and public disturbances
He emphasized that while freedom of worship is respected, religious activities should be confined to designated places of worship to maintain public order.
In addition to this, Soludo has also outlawed the activities of native doctors and spiritualists, accusing them of exploiting and deceiving the public. This move is part of a broader effort to eliminate fraudulent practices in the state.
The decisions have sparked mixed reactions. While some residents support the government’s actions to regulate public activities, others—particularly traditionalists—have criticized the measures, accusing the governor of religious bias and infringing on cultural practices.
The debate continues as Anambra navigates the balance between religious freedoms and public order.
