The Enugu State police command yesterday
said it has arrested the General Overseer of the
City of Liberation and Comfort Ministry,
Bishop Ginika Obi, for allegedly swindling his
members to the tune of over N500 million.
His ministry, located on Enugu-Port Harcourt
highway, became a beehive of activities last
year as people from various walks of life,
especially miracle seekers, trooped to the
church.
But the place became a shadow of itself after
it was discovered that the non-governmental
organization he floated to lure members into
investing on the guise of reaping “bountiful
dividends” was aimed at defrauding them.
When he was caught in his tracks, the
Unuaku Uli self-acclaimed preacher ran away,
abandoning his church and members. He
was, however, arrested at a hotel in Enugu at
the weekend, where he was said to be taking
refuge.
The Guardian gathered that Obi had used his
non-government organization, ‘Build Your
Generational Organization’ to allegedly
defraud his members and other unsuspecting
members of the public of various huge sums in
the hope that they would reap bumper
financial dividends after some time.
When the bubble burst last year, he
abandoned the church and escaped to Asaba
in Delta State and started operating a new
church with a new name. He was also said to
have changed his title from ‘Bishop’ to
‘Prophet.’

The Enugu State government had, following
the discovery and public outcry over his
activities, dismantled the church building
and gave the land to a private developer as
part of the ongoing HELIU residences project.
The Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) in
Enugu, Ebere Amaraizu, who confirmed the
arrest of the ‘Bishop’, stated that “luck ran out
of the suspect over the weekend as he was
trailed based on intelligence information to a
hotel at Amechi Road, off Agbani Road,
Enugu.”
According to Amaraizu: “He is now helping
operatives in their investigations in relation
to his nefarious activities. He said he never
knew his financial non-governmental
organization would turn out this way. He
disclosed that the amount he defrauded is
not up to the sum of N500 million but N186
million.”
Following his arrest, many of his victims are
trooping to the office of the officer-in-charge of
the monitoring unit in Enugu to catch a
glimpse of him. Many of them wore long looks
with tears rolling down their cheek.
Blessing Okonkwo Edekin, a widow; Nnenna
Okonkwo, a petty trader; and Chidiebere
Okolo, did not waste time to narrate their
ordeal in the hands of the ‘Bishop’ whom they
said had defrauded them of huge sums of
money and disappeared without trace with
his agents. They expressed happiness at the
way the police nabbed him to face justice. The
Commissioner of Police, Dan-mallam
Mohammed, has directed full-scale
investigations into the alleged nefarious
activities of the ‘Bishop’.
