A 30-year old Cleric, Pastor Destiny Moses, has landed in trouble in Lagos State for allegedly tricking a 30-year old lady with fake prophecy, that God asked her to sow a seed with her KIA saloon car worth N4.5m.
Information reaching Rivers Mirror has it that the lady, Elizabeth Light Olubukola, believed him and immediately handed over the car key with the vehicle particulars to him and trekked back home after the purported deliverance prayer.
The incident happened at No. 9 Kings Avenue, Ijedodo area of Lagos, where Pastor Moses resides.
While the lady, Elizabeth, was handing over the car to him, she had wanted to remove her Apple laptop worth N800,000, which was inside the car. But Pastor Moses told her that the revelation he received from God included the laptop and that she should as well sow it as a seed with the car and she obeyed.
The total sum of the items that Elizabeth used to sow the seed to Pastor Moses was put at N5.3m. She went home waiting for her prayers to be answered as assured by Pastor Moses.
However, trouble started after Elizabeth returned home without the car and members of her family asked her about the car with registration number, GGE847DS, which was registered in the family’s company name, Bumedel Global Resources Limited. She then told them that Pastor Moses asked her to sow a seed with the car so that her prayers will be answered by God.
The family got angry and told her that the car was bought with the company’s name and given to her and she had no right to use the car to sow a seed to Pastor Moses.
The matter was reported to the Police at Isheri Oshun Division and Pastor Moses was arrested and detained at the station for interrogation.
During interrogation, Moses told the Police that after the lady, Elizabeth, handed the car over to him as a seed, that he sold it to one Chikezie Ameachi, 42, for an undisclosed amount.
Hence, the Police arrested the buyer, Ameachi, who claimed that he had already sold the car to a customer.
The Police found both of them culpable and then charged Pastor Moses for conspiracy and stealing while Ameachi was arraigned for receiving stolen a car.
They pleaded not guilty when they were arraigned.
The prosecutor, Inspector Simeon Njue, then asked the Court to give a date for hearing since they pleaded not guilty before Court to enable the Police to prove that they actually committed the alleged offence.
The Presiding Magistrate, Mrs. A.K. Dosumu-Uthman, granted Pastor Moses and Amaechi bail in the sum of N750,000 and N450,000 respectively with sureties in like sum.
