Eddy Nawgu// (born Edward Onyebuchi Okeke// )[1] was a Nigerian alleged sorcerer, occultist[2] and, as described by the Nigerian media; a false prophet[3] who initially proclaimed himself to be a prophet of the biblical Abrahamic God.[4] He bore several sobriquets throughout his life time but was predominantly known in the mid-1990s as Eddy Nawgu, alternatively spelt as Eddie Nawgu among Igbo people.[5] An alternative form of this name, Eddy na Nawgu, which translates to Eddy in Nawgu, came about because he was from the Nawgu community, a town situated in the Dunukofia LGA of Anambra State, Nigeria.[6]
