Man Arrested For Scamming Oyedepo
A man named Jehu Kwasu a 25-years-old man who is a graduate of Political Science, has confessed that he scammed four prominent men of God in the pretence of raising funds for the internally displaced persons in Northern Nigeria
They include:
1. Bishop David Oyedepo of Living Faith Church Worldwide, who he claimed gave him N500,000
2. Chairman, Honeywell Group, Oba Otudeko who gave him N1m
3. Admiral Ndubuisi Kanu who gave him N500,000
4. Billionaire businessman, Alhaji Aminu Dantata who gave him N2m.
He said, “I collected N500,000 from Otudeko, CEO, Honeywell: From Admiral Kanu, I got N500,000. I also got N500,000 from Bishop Oyedepo and N2m from Dantata. I also got money from Gen. Wushishi and others.“I opened a Guaranty Trust Bank account in Bishop Kukah’s name. I registered a SIM card in my name, but used Bishop Kukah’s picture on my True Caller account, so that when I call, his picture would appear (on the recipient’s phone.)”He said, “I called people on the telephone and told them I was Bishop Kukah. I used his picture on my True Caller account, so that when I called people, they would think he was the one talking with them.“I also obtained a passport in Bishop Kukah’s name which I used to open an account with GTB. The money I realised was paid into the account and I used an Automated Teller Machine card to withdraw it.”
The Federal Capital Territory Commissioner of Police, Muhammad Mustafa, stated that Jehu was arrested by the men of his command, after Catholic Bishop Kukah complained about his activities.
“We received a petition from Bishop Kukah alleging that the boy had been impersonating him and extorting money from prominent people. So, my men went to work and were able to track the suspect and arrest him. He is a habitual criminal and I would like to advise the public against responding to emails or phone calls from unknown persons requesting financial support for one cause or the other,”the CP said.
