Controversial Nnewi Catholic knight, 'Akachaam' arrested over alleged public nuisance

James Okoye, a controversial member of the Knights of St John International in Nnewi, was arrested after being seen wandering the streets in red overalls, carrying palm fronds and a bell. He had previously announced his renunciation of Christianity, criticizing the Catholic Church for not recognizing the contributions of late Senator Ifeanyi Ubah to the Assumpta Cathedral. Okoye claimed he was cleansing the town of evil spirits, which attracted the attention of local vigilante operatives.
