Prophet Jailed Over Visa Fraud by dotcomnamename: 9:36pm On Jul 01, 2013
Prophet Owolere Odunuga of the Celestial Church of Christ (CCC), Ibeshe District, Ikorodu, who was arrested for alleged visa fraud, has been remanded in prison custody at Kirikiri, Lagos State, southwest Nigeria.

He allegedly confessed that he used part of the money to pay his tithe, used some to pay his house rent and invested the rest in his church.

At the Ejigbo Magistrate’s Court where he was arraigned, he also told the court that immigration officials at the airport collected N60,000 per passport to stamp a fake Visa for him.

Odunuga was arrested after he allegedly defrauded a housewife, Mrs xxxxxxxx, of N752,000 under the false pretence of procuring United States of America Visa for her.

Odunuga said he worked as travel agent before he received a call from God to start his own church.

He admitted that the Dubai and South Africa Visas stamped on Mrs. xxxxx ’s passport were not genuine and that they were stamped at the airport by immigration officials whom he paid the money.

Odunuga was arrested by the police when he was lured to come and collect another money for procurement of a Visa for the victim.

According to xxxx, he knew Odunuga when they were living together at Ikorodu.

She said she approached him for Visa so that she will join her husband in USA.

She said she paid part of the N752,000 into his account and gave the rest as cash to him. Mrs. xxxx, victim

Mrs. xxxxx, victim

Mrs. xxxx narrated that trouble started when he took her to South African Embassy in Lagos and she was denied Visa.

She alleged that he went and stamped the passport with fake Visa stamp and gave it to her to go to the embassy to apply for Visa.

She said when she wanted to travel with the Visa again, it was discovered that the stamp on the passport was fake.

Mrs xxxxx then went to the police to report the matter and he was arrested and taken to the station where he allegedly confessed.

When he was arraigned before Ejigbo Magistrate’s court for obtaining and stealing under the Criminal Code, he pleaded not guilty.

The presiding Magistrate, Mr P. E. Nwaka granted him bail in the sum of N200,000 with two sureties in like sum. Odunuga was remanded in prison custody at Kirikiri till he fulfills his hail condition.

The matter was adjourned till 31 July, 2013.

Is it only the cash ? i hope he did not also bang her from behind while bathing her naked in the bush for visa favour. Because these Cele pastors are fond of bathing people's wives in the bush.


Ewu American visa agent. But that woman is Ode buruku for ever believing that this hungry looking man, who is very ready to do stroway to even Pakistan would get her an American visa. Nigerians and their gullibility, otherwise how can an naked man promise you a cloth and you believe him. Can someone give what he doesn't have?


The Oga madam husband at the top in America, please try to check your wife's abuna well before you enter there again o, because this man i am looking at in the picture cannot be HIV NEGATIVE wallai. My own humble opinion.
