Phot: Pastor Benson Nosakhare,
The police command in Edo says it has arrested a pastor, Benson Nosakhare, the founder and senior pastor of Power Ground Chapel Incorporated, for allegedly defrauding members of his church with false prophecy.
Bello Kontongs, a Superrintendent of Police, SP, and the command’s Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, disclosed this in Benin in a statement.
According to the PPRO, Mr. Osamudiamen Thompson, one of Nosakhare’s victims, had written a petition to the Commissioner of Police, Edo State, narrating how the suspect hypnotized him and collected his car.
He added that 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 soon be charged to court.
