Popular Pastor In Edo State Nabbed Over FAKE Miracle

A popular pastor reputed for miracles in one of the pentecostal churches in Benin City, Edo state, is in ‘soup’ ‎over an allegation of faking miracles to defraud unsuspecting church members and the public.

An aggrieved member of the gang who was stage-managing the "miracles" for the ministry reported himself and the church to the police in the state capital.

He was said to have alleged that the self-claimed evangelist owed him N48,000.00 being his agreed fee for sitting in a wheelchair as a cripple for six days before he received his "healing".

The "fake" deliverance took place during the church deliverance programme recently.

It was further gathered that the man, who is now a complainant and suspect, also alleged that the evangelist bought him a ram to bring for thanksgiving in the church.

He added that the preacher collected from him a suit he presented to him as the church gift, in front of the congregation, shortly after he gave his false testimony.

According to ThisDay, operatives of the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID), Police Command headquarters, Benin City, have swiftly launched an investigation into the case.

Sources at the police command headquarters revealed that the Founder and General Overseer of the ministry (name withheld) has been invited and quizzed.

When approached for comment, the man claimed: “It was N8,000 per day, the programme was six days, he [Pastor] collected the suit from me and gave it to another person.”
