Crusade Pastor Absconds With Worshippers' Phones, Other Valuables

Crusade Pastor Absconds With Worshippers' Phones, Other Valu

A pastor, Dr Owen Abraham has reportedly absconded with 52 android and iPhones, money, and valuables of worshippers who attended a crusade he organised at Aponrin area of Agbowo in Ibadan.

The victims who are mostly residents of the area revealed that the pastor said he was led by God to come to Ibadan from Gambia for the crusade.

Abraham at the last day of the three days crusade claimed that the Holy Spirit directed him to tell people to submit their phones and valuables, but later absconded with it.

The victims said Abraham, who lured them into three days of fasting and prayer, was no where to be found on the last day of the crusade, as all efforts to reach him proved abortive.

It was gathered that many widows went for the crusade because the pastor promised to give each person a bag of rice and money and that he also promised to empower students with scholarship.

Another victim, a student of University of Ibadan (UI) who pleaded anonymity, said the pastor ordered them to fast for three days, adding that the evangelist collected their phones so as to keep and allow them focus on the prayers, unknown to them that it was a trick to get rid of their belongings.

Meanwhile, Abraham has been declared wanted by the people in the area, as posters bearing his name and pictures have been circulated within the area to track him down.
