A member of a Lagos
church had presented a sum of N10 million before his pastor for special
prayers for a business he intended starting only for him to get
defrauded by the man of God.
The
popular pastor known as Pastor Timothy Gabriel who resides in Ejigbo,
Lagos is currently under the searchlight of the Nigeria Police
after absconding with a church members’ N10million.
According
to PM News reportage, The victim (namewithheld) reportedly obtained the
loan from a bank with an interest which he intended to use to start a
new business.
It was
gathered that before the victim went to the bank to process the loan, he
informed the pastor whom he regarded as his spiritual father, who
then promised to offer prayers to God so that the loan would be obtained
successfully.
When
the victim finally got the loan, he informed the pastor about it and the
pastor reportedly told him that he had a revelation from God that the
money was 'blood money' and if he used it for the business he intended
to use it for, it will be unsuccessful.
He told
him to bring the money so that he would anoint it and offer some
prayers for three days before he would use it to start the business.
Heeding
to his pastor's warning, the victim took the money to the Pastor at his
home at Jakande Estate, Ejogbo which also serves as his church and
there he was told to return for it in three days.
“I will anoint the money and do special prayers on it for three days” the pastor reportedly said.
The
victim, who did not suspect any foul play, went back home and returned
after three days as told, to collect his money but unfortunately the
pastor had eloped with the money and no property of his was in sight.
Confused and at a loss of what to do at first, he later reported the case to the Police.
Police sources at Ejigbo Division have also confirmed the incident and said they were on the trail of the pastor.
