Pastor Franklin Chinedu of the Moutain of Fire Ministry, Oshodi District has been arrested by the police.
He was recently arraigned for scamming Charity Onje Isaac, a widow, of N850,000 through a false prophecy.
The pastor and the widow
Charity said she met Chinedu who told her about the death of her husband and his gratuity with his employer, Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria, FAAN.
The pastor, according to her, said a serious prayer was needed so that FAAN can release her husband’s money.
When the money was eventually released, Chinedu invited her and told her that God said she should give him the money.
She obediently gave him the money but later realised that she had been duped.
She said she realised what happened when she had no money to feed the family, and she started looking for the pastor and then reported to the church what happened.
Surprisingly, when she went to the pastor’s house she discovered that he had moved out from the apartment to another rented three bedroom flat.
The matter was reported to the police who arrested Chinedu and charged him to court for fraud.
Chinedu pleaded not guilty and said he prayed for the woman and the money was paid and he borrowed the money from her but was unable to raise money to pay her back.
He was granted a bail of N100,000 and the matter was adjourned to April 27.
