Pastor arrested by the army for fake miracle

Ohohihohoh when you done buying your casket

The Nigerian Army said yesterday in
Port Harcourt that it has arrested a
pastor and two others who faked
miracles and healing to deceive
members of his church and the
public.
Presenting the suspects to newsmen,
Army Public Relations Officer, 2nd
Brigade, Nigeria Army, Port
Harcourt, Capt. Eli Lazarus, said the
suspects have several members.
Lazarus said: “We got a tip-off from
a member of the church who
complained of immoral and
fraudulent activities going on there.
“The self-acclaimed pastor and his
collaborators (names withheld) were
subsequently arrested, and they
confessed to duping unsuspecting
members of the public of various
sums of money.
“The suspects also confessed to stage-
managing miracles and healing to
attract members to their church
located along Aluu community near
Port Harcourt.”
He said the suspects would be
handed over to the police for further
investigation and possible
arraignment in court.
He urged members of the public to
be weary of fake pastors, urging
them to supply information about
them to security agencies which
could effect their arrest.
The prime suspect (names withheld),
a 27 years old man and founding
pastor of the church, confessed to
paying his collaborators undisclosed
sums of money to give false
testimonies.
The suspect said his church,
Revelation Power Ministry, has over
100 worshipers.
“I told my accomplices to tell my
church congregation that after
performing miracles they were
healed from a terminal illness.
“This was done to enable me draw
more members to the church and
retain the old ones, numbering over
100.
“So, after praying for them during
church service, they would lift up
their hands and testify about their
healing.
“I am very sorry for my actions
which have offended God and man;
and if forgiven, I will live a life that
will be pleasing to Heaven,” the
suspect said.
In a related development, the
Nigerian Army in Port Harcourt has
arrested two male suspects for
allegedly parading themselves as
‘Majors’ in the army.
Capt. Lazarus made the disclosure
yesterday while parading the
suspects before newsmen.
Lazarus said the two suspects,
Fabian Enudi, 39, and Samuel Agaga,
38, indigenes of Delta and Bayelsa
states were arrested separately,
dressed in full army uniforms with
the rank of a Major.
“Enudi, dressed in army uniform,
presented himself as an army major
to our troops at a security
checkpoint in Mbiama area, Ahoada
West Local Government Area of
Rivers State.
“Enudi, realising he could not defend
himself while being interrogated by
our personnel at the checkpoint,
speedily drove past the checkpoint in
an attempt to escape arrest.
“Our troops immediately mobilised
and gave him a hot pursuit spanning
several kilometres until he was
forcefully stopped and apprehended.
“During the pursuit our troops fired
warning shots to demobilise his car
but unfortunately the suspect
sustained gunshot wounds in his
leg,” he said.
Lazarus said the suspect confessed to
being a major supplier and
transporter of cannabis and other
banned substances for an unknown
drug cartel.
