TVC E. The Police in Enugu State have arrested an alleged notorious syndicate, whose specialty is in helping self acclaimed men of God to fake prophecies in Churches across the country.
The suspects were identified as Obi Ejike, Kuku Mary, Oluwakemi Joy, Nwosu Chizoba and Peter Uchechi.
The suspects were nabbed at the Enugu Market Road, popularly known as Holy Ghost Park and the P&T axis of the state by the operatives of the central police station of the Enugu State police command.
The spokesman of the Police in the State, Mr. Ebere Amaraizu, SP, disclosed that the suspects were nabbed while heading for Churches and ministries in Enugu and Ebonyi to stage make-belief prophecies.
The statement issued by Amaraizu showed one of the suspects identified as peter uchechi, confessing that “they were recruited in large numbers and kept in a house at Onitsha Anambra state; from there, they shuttle to various states of the country to confirm a prophecy for the purpose of winning more souls for the said church or ministry. They are usually paid through their coordinator who rented a house and kept them there.
According to her, “we can be detailed to go to any state, but the number of the link man in the said church/ministry is usually provided to them for easy connection on arrival and that they usually dialogue with the link man to the pastor of the church/ministry on the shape the job will take.
“We usually state our names, nature of problem they have and other necessary information which is given to the pastor of the church/ministry for his guidance and during the prophetic hours, we will be among the people with the said problem that will come out.
“The pastor, then using the said information, will prophecy and we will confirm that before the congregation; after the pastor touches us, we fall and the pastor will then proclaim that the problem is all over; that way, members of the congregation will believe that the pastor is a powerful man of God and this will attract more members to the church.”
