Labour Party (LP) 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi has called on the security agencies in the country to start arresting individuals who claim they “miraculously” received credit alerts after praying while giving testimonies in churches.
He made the call while featuring on the latest episode of the Honest Bunch Podcast, hosted by popular actor, Nedu.
The former Anambra State Governor, was reacting to questions by the show host on claims by some Nigerians that they suddenly found money in their bank accounts after praying to God.

Speaking on the trend which is now common in many Nigerian churches, Obi insisted that it is theft and not a “miracle” as the testifiers often claim.
He, however, admitted that God can bless handiwork, productivity and industry.
Addressing the controversial subject during the interview, Obi said, “God can bless handiwork, productivity and industry. But he cannot bless someone who is sleeping.
“Anybody who says he got alert from praying should be arrested. You have stolen somebody’s money.”
