A London based architect, Mrs Oladele Williams Oni recently narrated to an ikeja High Court, Lagos. how she was defrauded of 17 million naira by a shepherd in charge of the Celestial Church of Christ, Genesis Pariah Alagbado over spiritual help.
In her evidence-in-chief before Justice Olabisi Akinlade, the witness told the court that in an attempt to swindle her of her landed property, the prophet allegedly asked her to pay some money.
She
told the court that she entrusted the accused person with her money to
procure some landed property on her behalf because she thought he was a
“good pastor,” but was surprised that he (prophet) only made her to
suffer in vain.
She
said she first met the accused person in 2002 during her visit to
Nigeria, when she was taken to his church for prayers by her
step-sister, where she was promised heaven on earth by the church
leader.
She
said: “He told me something about my husband in one of his prophecies,
that I should not have anything jointly with him because he was having
an affair behind my back. He gave me a liquid to drink and I started
vomiting. I was asked to sit down and he lighted a candle and said I
should be there until the candle goes off.”
According
to her, for the prophet to achieve his aim, he allegedly took her in
company of her step-sister and cousin to a bush in Sango Ota area of
Ogun State, where she was allegedly bathed with some concoctions near a
river.
She
said her misfortune started when she returned to London, the prophet
asked her to invest in landed property in Lagos, which she agreed. This
she did after consultations with some persons.
She
allegedly sent N17 million in five tranches of N900,000, N2.5 million,
N8.5 million, N2.7 million and £12,000 between 2002 and 2005 to purchase
the property on her behalf, which turned out to be a fraud.
