Nigerian Pastor Dupes Church Member of N10million Bank Loan

A popular pastor of a church situated along the Ejigbo suburbs in Lagos, Nigeria who goes by the name of Pastor Timothy Gabriel has craftily duped an unassuming member of N10million which was presented to him to render special prayers before usage for investing in a business venture.

 The men of the Nigeria Police Force are currently in a search for the fleeing pastor who disappeared after collecting the money from his church member. 

According to PM News, The victim (name-withheld) obtained the loan from a bank and intended to use the funds to embark on a business venture.

It was gathered that before the victim went to the bank to process the loan, he informed the pastor whom he regarded as his spiritual father, who then promised to offer prayers to God so that the loan would be obtained successfully.

After securing the loan, he informed the pastor about it, only for the pastor to tell him that he had a revelation from God about the money being 'blood money' and if he used it for the business he intended to use it for, it will be unsuccessful.

He told him to bring the money so that he would anoint it and offer some prayers for three days before he would use it to start the business.

Heeding to his pastor's warning, the victim took the money to the Pastor at his home at Jakande Estate, Ejigbo which also serves as his church and there he was told to return for it in three days.

“I will anoint the money and do special prayers on it for three days” the pastor reportedly said.

The victim, who did not suspect any foul play, went back home and returned after three days as told, to collect his money but unfortunately the pastor had eloped with the money and no property of his was in sight.

Confused and at a loss of what to do at first, he later reported the case to the Police.

Police sources at Ejigbo Division have also confirmed the incident and said they were on the trail of the pastor.
