Police arrest fake pastor in Edo

Operatives of Edo State Police Command have arrested one Prophet Benson Nosakhare for allegedly using fake prophecy and divine pronouncements to defraud members of the public.

It was gathered that the suspect was arrested on May 3 following a petition by one of his victims, Osamudiamen Thompson.

He said the victim petitioned the state commissioner of police that he was allegedly hypnotized by Prophet Benson Nosakhare of Power Ground Chapel Incorporated located in Benin.

He said the suspect told the victim that he saw him in a vision where he had an accident with his Lexus ES 350 car and that for him to avert the accident he should use the car to sow seed to the Lord which he did in his church.

“After the victim came back to his senses, he noticed that the prophet had already changed the color of the car from gold to black and was already using it.”

He said the car was recovered during a search of his apartment in Benin.

Bello said the suspect had confessed to the crime and would be charged to court.
