Owerri, Nigeria, March 3, 2018//-– The Imo State Police Command has arrested a pastor and a female lawyer who are allegedly to have defrauded unsuspecting members of the public.

According to the CP, the baby was then handed over to Ndieze, who in turn handed Blessing to one of his church members, one Emmanuel Onuoha and directed him to drop Faith at the NNPC filling station control post Owerri.

Ezike further disclosed that Pastor Ndieze in his trick to convince his congregation that he is a true prophet, prophesied during church service that there was a woman in the congregation who was looking for her daughter that was kidnapped from Aba by her uncle, whose name is Emeka and that the girl had been taken to Onitsha, preparatory to be taken to Port Harcourt.

Continuing, the CP said, Pastor Ndieze however, assured his congregation that his powers and prayers would force the kidnappers and ritualists to drop and abandon the little girl at the NNPC control Post Owerri.

He directed all who were keen and desirous to witness his powers, to go to the NNPC control post Owerri and see the little girl. The spot he earlier directed Onuoha to keep the little girl.

In the course of investigation, Ezike said that the suspect confessed to be a fake lawyer and had been in fake practice for the past five years.
