The Enugu State Police Command has nabbed a suspected fake prophecy
syndicate that specialises in working with owners of churches to
confirm prophecies in order to win more members for such churches.
This is contained in a statement signed by the command’s spokesman, Ebere Amaraizu, in Enugu on Sunday.
Mr. Amaraizu said that the syndicate was nabbed at Holy Ghost park
axis and popular P&T axis of Enugu metropolis by police operatives
of the Central Police Station in Enugu.
He noted that the syndicate, who were nabbed on August 19 and 20
included Obi Ejike from Ubaho Okija in Ihiala Local Government in
Anambra and Kuku Mary from Ijebu-ode in Ogun.
The others were Oluwakemi Joy from Ojo in Lagos State, Nwosu Chizoba from Umunze in Anambra and Peter Uchechi from Ebonyi.
The spokesman said that the syndicate was nabbed on their way to a
church in Abakaliki and in Enugu to join in the fake prophecy deal
before they were apprehended.
“Luck ran out on the syndicate as confusion broke out at a bus-stop
among them leading to arguments, which attracted the attention of police
operatives.”
He said the police team observed that Ejike and Joy were up to a
nefarious act and on further interrogation they revealed their mission.
Mr. Amaraizu said one of the suspects, Uchechi, maintained that they
were recruited in large numbers and kept in a house in Onitsha, Anambra.
Uchechi, he said, maintained that they shuttle to various states to
confirm prophecies for the purpose of winning souls for churches and
were usually paid through their coordinator.
Mr. Amaraizu said Uchechi told the police that they could be detailed
to go to any state but the phone number of the linkman in the church
was usually provided to them.
The suspect added that the phone number would be for connectivity on
arrival and that they usually dialogue with the pastor of the church on
the shape the job would take.
He said they would divulge their names, nature of problem they have and other necessary information to the pastor.
“They will state information which is given to the pastor of the
church for his guidance and during the prophetic hours they will be
among the people with the said problem that will come out,’’ Uchechi
revealed.
Uchechi said the pastor would give a prophesy and one of them would
confirm that before the congregation after being touched and falling
under “the anointing.”
“The pastor would proclaim the problem is all over and that she has received her healing.
“Some pastors use us to grow their church and we are paid later through our coordinator depending on your role,’’ Uchechi said.
Ejike also confirmed their illicit deal while maintaining that he works hand-in-hand with the coordinator.
