It
was gathered that the suspect used his non-governmental organization
‘Build Your Generational Organization’ to lure unsuspecting members
into investing on the guise of reaping “bountiful dividends” only to
defraud them.
When
his crime was discovered, he abandoned his church and members and fled
to Asaba, Delta State where he started operating a new church with a new
name. He was also said to have changed his title from ‘Bishop’ to
‘Prophet.’
He
was, however, arrested at a hotel in Enugu at the weekend. 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 projects.
Spokesperson
for the State Police Command, Ebere Amaraizu, who confirmed the
arrest, said Bishop was trailed based on intelligence information to a
hotel at Amechi Road, off Agbani Road, Enugu.
“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.”
