arrested a pastor and two others for allegedly faking miracles and
healing to deceive church members and the public.
This is also as the Army has nabbed two persons, who posed as
majors in the Nigerian Army.
Parading the suspects yesterday, the Army Public Relations Officer
of the 2 Brigade, Port Harcourt, Captain Eli Lazarus, said the pastor
and his accomplices conned several members.
Lazarus stated: “We got a tip-off from a member of the church, who
complained of immoral and fraudulent activities going on in the
church.
“The self-acclaimed pastor and his collaborators (names withheld)
were subsequently arrested and they confessed to duping
unsuspecting members of the public of various sums of money.
“The suspects also confessed of stage-managing miracles and
healing to attract members to their church located along Aluu
community close to Port Harcourt,” he said.
He said the suspects would be handed over to the police for further
investigation and possible arraignment in court.
The 27-year-old pastor and founder of the church (Revelation Power
Ministry), confessed to have paid his collaborators undisclosed
amount of money to give false testimonies. The suspect said his
church had over 100 worshippers.
In a related development, two fake military officers, Fabian Enudi
(39) and Samuel Agaga (38), from Delta and Bayelsa states, were
arrested separately dressed in full army uniform with ranks of major.
