ENUGU— Five members of a 12-man fake prophesy syndicate, which
connives with church owners to dish out fabricated testimonies to woo
patronage and membership, have been arrested in Enugu.
The suspects, Obi Ejike from Ubaho, Okija in Ihiala Local Government Area
of Anambra State; Kuku Mary, Ijebu-Ode, Ogun State; Oluwakemi Joy,
Lagos State; Nwosu Chizoba, Umunze in Anambra State, and Peter
Uchechi from Ebonyi State, were nabbed at Holy Ghost Park axis weekend,
following a brawl between them on the sharing formula of their booty,
which attracted the attention of a police patrol team.
The ring leader, Uchechi, revealed that they were foot soldiers recruited by
the handler, who remains behind the scene to give contacts of church/
ministry owners, who have struck a deal with him to bring people during
crusade for fake testimonies.
According to Uchechi, “we operate in all the states nationwide. Once our
boss calls, he will give us the contact of the church owner.
“When we arrive, we will go through the stories with the prophet or church
owner before the crusade starts. The idea is for the prophet to be familiar
and abreast with the story.
Miracle hour
“When it is prophetic hour, the prophet will bring us out from the crowd to
the pulpit. Thereafter, the prophet, who then pretends to be praying, will
touch us and we will fall down.
“The prophet will then reveal our life challenges, which supposedly
brought us to the church for miracle, and we will confirm the story. At
that point, the congregation will erupt in joy not knowing that all they
were witnessing was a written script meant to attract patronage and
membership to the church.
“After the prophetic hour, offering time will follow. It is well designed to
rake in money during offering. Some people will donate their cars, write
cheques and make pledges. There are a lot of problems in the society, so
people are looking for quick fix.
“We were at the bus stop around P&T axis in Enugu, when police swooped
on us. We had operated at a ministry at Emene, Enugu, and were returning
to Abuja when altercation broke out over sharing formula of the proceeds,
when police arrested us.”
Confirming the arrest, Police Public Relations Officer, Ebere Amaraizu,
revealed that manhunt for other fleeing accomplices have been launched,
adding “they will be prosecuted as they have made confessional
statements.
“The public should be wary of new generational churches that spring up at
every 10-meter radius in a desperate bid to eke a living for themselves.”

Hustlers....

This is naija where anything can happen. Religion is one of our major set back

All this men of world calling themselves "men of god" smh for you...

I love africa expecially Uganda:jazz scandal Nigeria:religious scandal Kenya:sex scandal

May God open our eyes to identify those who are really serving him.

Na today?

no surprise here, since Saul or Paul invented Christianity by fabricated 2 conflicting testimonies while entering Damascus that Jesus gave him Christianity, while Jesus was born a Jew , lived like a Jew, practice Judaism, preachers to Jews only and die as a jew. Christianity is really Paulnity

Miracle loving churchgoers see your life? You be mugu o. Some guys are using you to butter their life. Be wise!

Nigerian christians know this scam, but are happy to fall for it. The church is now a place to show yourself rather than to worship God. Women try to outdress themselves to church everyweek to make a statement. The ones who can expose small cleavage gets photographed for the church's facebook page. The glossy pix are more gratifying than any sermons delivered.

The pastors vibrate on philosophy and less on the words of God. Christians go to churches where they are told what they want to hear, not necessarily what can change them. That COZA guy is still scamming his sheep and they are happily celebrating him.

That is why I refuse to attend any so called crusade again
