APOSTLE Abraham, a Senior Pastor of a new generation church, (name withheld) located at Oviri-Ogor community of Ughelli North Local Government Area of Delta State is cooling off in police custody for allegedly defrauding one of his members over N18 million (Eighteen Million Naira.)

According to our impeccable source, the pastor whose surname is withheld is currently undergoing interrogations and investigation at the Delta State Police Command Asaba over allegations of fraudulently defrauding his church member, Mr Goodluck over N18m in false pretence of buying a parcel of land for him.

According to Vanguard source, “It was learned that in 2023, Mr Goodluck transferred the money to the pastor’s account for him to purchase land for him.

“Bro Goodluck, after waiting for over a long period of time without hearing or seeing the land from the pastor, he quietly demanded for his N18million from him.

“Severally, the man approach the pastor to refund his money, but he kept saying I will pay until the matter got out of control.

“His failure to refund the money to Goodluck as promised resulted to his arrest and he has been transferred to Asaba for further investigation.”

Contacted, Delta State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Bright Edafe was yet to respond to text messages. Meantime, as at the time of filing this report, the church building is under key lock when Vanguard visited the premises.
