Pastor Busted For Fake Prophecy & Extortion

The General Overseer of “God is Able Mega Fire Ministry” Opolo, Bayelsa State Nigeria, Apostle Kingsley Abiekunogho got arrested and arraigned for allegedly giving fake prophecy to a member of his church. He is accused of delivering fake prophesies and fraudulently extorting money and property from faithfuls. It is reported that the cleric was arraigned before Magistrate Eke Spiff on Wednesday the 14^th of March 2018. The prophet is alleged to have obtained a Toyota SUV and N20,000 from Seiyefa Sayou a church member of his in exchange for spiritual breakthroughs and miracles. Sayou had earlier been invited to the church by a friend on September 9, 2017, during a crusade. When Sayou got to the crusade, one of the church’s  ministers, identified as Apostle Chris, from Port Harcourt, Rivers State, convinced him to give the sum of N20,000 and his SUV to the prophet. Sayou was said to have parted with the vehicle and the money after Apostle Chris had narrated frightening stories of how people that didn’t give died mysteriously and how he-Sayou would die if he failed to give the items.

The story continues that Prophet Abiekunogho allegedly promised Sayou, through the guest minister, that in a month’s time, he-Sayou will receive whatever he had donated to the church ten folds. According to Sayou the victim: “The guest pastor gave me honey to drink and mandated me to do change of ownership of the vehicle immediately. Thereafter, I went to a shop, bought a nylon bag and packed all my belongings and went home.” He continued that, when he woke up the next day, he started looking for his car and his wife reminded him that he had sown it as a seed in the church. After several months, nothing seemed to be working for this pour victim. He regained his senses and on the 14^th of March 2018, he reported the case to the Federal Police and the said Prophet Abiekunogho was arrested, remanded in custody and later brought infront of the Federal Judge.

While awaiting the closure of this case, we must not forget that similar stories like these are now very prevalent in today’s world especially in the less developed and developing worlds of Africa. It is not also uncommon to hear of shady dealings by pastors and other clerics of churches. Pastors, prophets and prophetesses have sprung up from the blues and claim to deliver prophecies and miracles. The proliferation of churches in Africa have of course warranted the blossoming of these triads runned by fake pastors and prophets who claim to preach the Word. Also, the hunger of many poor African peoples for miracles and breakthrough has now served as manure that nourishes this mafia of church ministries that fill up streets in most towns and cities in Africa. My dear people, we must be vigilant, we must be strong in prayer and work hard rather than depend on some miscreants for deliverances and breakthroughs in our lives. May God deliver us all from these fake prophets.
