A prophet with the Celestial Church of Christ Moses Oloyede, was shown hell by some members of the Oodua People’s Congress (OPC) over an alleged missing N80,000.
Accused of the theft of said amount, the pastor stationed at the Morogbo parish 1, Badagry, Lagos State, was savaged with a horsewhip and knife by the men while trying to extract a confession.
Punch reports that Policemen of the Area K Command have since rounded up the key suspects after a complaint was filed.
It is understood that Oloyede landed in hot water when he went to pray for the woman who owned the money, identified only as Maria, only for him to be called over the phone that N80,000 had gone missing in the house.
“I usually don’t go to minister to people in their houses. But due to her financial commitment to God’s work, I decided to honour her. She came to pick me at the bus stop around 5pm on that Wednesday,” he said.
The embattled prophet, 23, then added that after about four hours, he received a call from his host that she was looking for N80,000.
“She said a 13-year-old girl that was lying on the floor in the room claimed that she saw me searching bags in the house.
“I wondered how I could do such a thing and I asked her if she told me about any money. She said I was a prophet and that I could have seen the money with my spiritual eyes. I felt embarrassed and ended the call,
“On Sunday, I saw two people in our church at Morogbo. They said they were OPC members and that they wanted to interview me at the bus stop over the missing money. They equally claimed that Maria was also at the bus stop. I decided to follow them.
“I was put in their cell. They tied my hands and legs and started beating me. They used a knife dripping with hot palm oil to torture me. They also used sticks, horsewhips and bottles on me. They said I must confess to the crime,” he said, adding he confessed to what he didn’t do under duress.
The OPC members demanded the payment of N95,000, with N80,000 as a refund of the stolen money and N15,000 for bail.
Confirming the incident, the Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Olarinde Famous-Cole, confirmed said both victim and suspects would be investigated simultaneously.
