On October 6, 2026, at the Anambra State High Court in Awka, supporters of Pastor Harrison Anazodo, the General Overseer of Dayspring Assembly, attacked journalists and cameramen during his trial. Anazodo is facing a seven-count charge for allegedly accumulating wealth through supernatural means, as prohibited by the Anambra State Homeland Security Law 2025, and for allegedly encouraging women to separate from their husbands.
Eyewitnesses reported that the supporters attempted to shield Anazodo from the media, leading to a confrontation where several journalists had their phones damaged. Anambra State Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Tobechukwu Nweke (SAN), condemned the attack, emphasizing the importance of respecting journalists.
He reported the incident to the court, which accepted an apology from Anazodo's counsel and directed that the damaged gadgets be replaced, reinforcing the freedom of the press.
