Investigations show that growing trend of seeking
spiritual breakthrough from pastors and Islamic clerics had turned
Nigerians and other Africans into victims of the very situation they are
seeking prayers to conquer.
Seeking spiritual help has also sent many to their early graves.
This was the case last year, when more than 50 persons on a spiritual pilgrimage died at the Synagogue Church of all Nations at the Ikotun area of Lagos state after an uncompleted guest house in the church premises collapsed killing the occupants who are mostly South Africans.
Naij.com’s Investigations also show dubious persons are taking advantage of this yearning for spiritual breakthrough to deceive and defraud prayer seekers.
This was the case , when police men attached to the Ogun State police command arrested a pastor who disguised as an armed robbers and attacked a banker in his home at Agbara area of the state and made away with the victim’s N3.7million.
The banker was however shocked when the police revealed the suspected armed robber who attacked him was pastor Ndubisbi Ignatius , whom the banker and his family patronize for prayers.
Following his arrest, the pastor confessed he lied to the banker that he should send his family members and other tenants in his house away so that the banker can concentrate for a seven day series of prayer and fasting to avert an impending doom.
The banker unaware of the pastor’s intent obeyed the pastor’s “prophesy” which later turned out to be a fraud.
When the banker was in his house alone praying, the same pastor Ndubisi who told him to stay at home to pray, allegedly dressed up, wore a mask and went into the banker’s house with a cutlass and a gun and demanded for N15million.
Narrating how he concocted the plan to rob the banker, the pastor Ndubisi said
“ I have a family friend who had been helping me in school but I was in need of money so I attacked him in his house at Agbara estate in Ogun state. Yes I attacked him and it was a terrible thing I did . I am a student. I attended a seminary in Enugu state and I pray for people. I got to know the banker one Mr. Nwosu through a family friend and I have been praying for him and his family for about 2 years now. I reside I Enugu but I go from place to place praying for people. The banker had a challenge then and after I prayed for him, he got victory and since then I have been praying for him I have known him for two years.
Sometimes last month, I had problem in school. I needed some money for my school but the devil came to my mind and I decided to deceive the banker so I can get some money to solve my school problem . I know I should have approached him for financial assistance but I don’t ask people for money after I pray for them. I lied to the banker that I saw a vision and he was in danger. I told him to send his family away so he can be alone to pray. I called him back again to ask everybody in his premises to leave that he needed to be alone for the prayer session. All this while I was close to his house in Agbara Estate watching all his movement but I lied to him that I was in Enugu. When I saw that he was alone in the house, I asked him to put salt in water and sprinkle the rooms and everywhere in his premises. When I saw that he had gone upstairs to sprinkle the room , I sneaked into the premises and hide myself . All this while, I was talking with him on the phone and when he was not noticing, I sneaked into his bedroom. I was wearing a mask. I told him to lit different candles in his living room and he started praying. I stormed out from where I was hiding in the room and held him at gun point; I told him to bring N15million. I threatened him that he should not try to be smart that our master is watching whatever he was doing and he should cooperate. The man told me that he cannot get N15million but can get me N3million. He called a banker to bring N3million to his house. When the lady came with the cash, he went downstairs and collected the money from her and sent her away. I collected the money from him . I told him to bring another N1.5million but he told me he cannot get the money from his bank again but he can get the money from a friend . I forced him to enter the car and we drove down to Okokomaiko area in Lagos state .The friend came and gave him N700, 000. He gave me the money and I jumped out of the car with the N3.7million”.
The Ogun State police public relations officer , Muyiwa Adejobi said the suspect was arrested following a petition by the banker .
The CP added that the suspect made away with the banker’s phones but he was later arrested and investigation revealed he was the brain behind the attack on the banker .
“Our investigations revealed that the suspect is the same man the victim was engaging to pray for him and his family . The victim went through harrowing experience in the hands of the so called pastor but he was later arrested and he confessed to the crime”.
In a press statement by the Rivers State police command, the command advised members of the public to report cases of unscrupulous pastors to the command .
This advice follows the arrest of three pastors for alleged fraud.
The statement read “These fraudsters, masquerading themselves as prophets, are on the loose and prey on the gullible members of the public through the use of false prophesy and divine pronouncements. The pastors were arrested following a petition by one Mr. Umejiego ,a Director of a private organisation who was lured into a false scheme through his wife by the pastor of the Church named “Favour Anointing Ministry, located at 7A Ojoto Lane Mile 3,Diobu, Port Harcourt allegedly operated by one Prophet Victory Ibe.
“Ibe confessed to be a perpetual dupe and that he has always had in his possession a pro-forma change of ownership which he used to make people part with their properties. Mr. Ibe tricked Mr. Umejiogo to part with his Toyota Land Cruiser Jeep to “sow as seed” into Mr. Ibe’s life.He (Ibe) thereafter produced a change of ownership which he promptly got signed by the unsuspecting victim who immediately handed over the original documents to him(Ibe) together with the vehicle the suspected fake pastors were arrested after Mr. Ibe was involved in an accident with the car” The statement read.
