Woman loses N1m over false prophecy

A 32 year old self-acclaimed Evangelist Ezekiel Uzoechi, along with another member of his church, Ifeoma Okoro, has been arraigned before an Ikeja Magistrate Court 1 on a five- count charge of defrauding a woman of N1,000,000. [7,842.830 USD - RNB]

“Again, that you Evangelist Ezekiel Uzoechi ‘M’, on the same time and place in the aforementioned Magistrate District in an attempt to commit felony to wit obtaining money by false pretence demanded N1million from one Chief Executive of Pre-Adult Affairs Organisation, Chief Sandra Duru ‘F’ and thereby committed an offence contrary to section 509 and punishable under section 419 of the Criminal Code Cap 17 Vol. 11 laws of Lagos State of Nigeria 2003.”

The accused person pleaded not guilty to the charges while the Magistrate, Mr F.A. Fabanwo granted him bail in the sum of N20,000. The case was adjourned till February 26.
