Pastor Arrested Over N390,000 Anointing Oil Scam

A 50-year-old self-acclaimed pastor, John
Ojebe, has been arrested and charged to court
for allegedly duping a lady, Hawo Umoru, of the
sum of N390,000 under the pretence of selling
her Adonai oil to wash her private parts.

According to a Vanguard report, Ojebe conspired
with two others, who are now at large, to commit
the offence at Sura Mogaji Street, off Coker
Road, Ilupeju, Lagos.

The accused was arraigned by the police before
an Oshodi Magistrate’s Court in Lagos on a
three-count charge of obtaining money by false
pretence and stealing.
One of the charges read: “ That you John Ojebe,
with two others at large, on April 13, 2014, at
about 11am along Sura Mogaji Street, off Coker
Road, Ilupeju in the Lagos State Magisterial
District, did obtain N390,000 from one Hawo
Umoru under the pretence of selling to her one
Adonai oil for washing of her private part .”

The accused, however, pleaded not guilty when
the charge was read before the magistrate,
Akeem Fashola.
The counsel to the accused, Michael Olisah
applied for bail and the magistrate granted him
bail in the sum of N100,000 with one responsible
sureties, who must have paid tax for three years
and whose address should be verified.

The case was adjourned till April 27 for further
mention.

Some so called pastors have been bringing
shame to their churches as they have been
involved in crime and scandal.

Some have been
accused of rape, while others have being
involved in scamming innocent people looking
for a solution to their problems.

About a week ago, the general overseer of a
Pentecostal church, P astor John (other names
withheld), alongside his wife, Deborah, were
reportedly arrested at the weekend in Akwa
Ibom state over the alleged abduction of a new
born baby.
