A
32-year-old cleric has been nabbed by police detectives in Enugu for
allegedly duping a 25-year-old lady, Ojiaku Chiamaka of N4 million.
The Pastor, Abel Benard Aniude of Trimphant Kings Assembly, Enugu,
was said to have wooed Chiamaka on Facebook in December 2013 and
promised her marriage, swindling the lady over N4 million in the
process.
According to reports by Saturday Sun, the suspect and his younger
brother, Tobias Aniude serving a jail term in Enugu prison, were
apparently notorious for using Facebook woo desperate single women into
marriage, eventually duping them.
The pastor’s younger brother, Tobias was said to have been arrested
for kidnapping and armed robbery and later remanded in Enugu prison in
March. But that didn’t stop him. In the prison, Tobias was alleged to have continued using Facebook to scam more innocent Nigerians.
The victim, Chiamaka, who works as a sales girl with her brother,
Emmanuel Monday Ojiaku at Mokola, Ibadan, Oyo State, was said to have
diverted proceeds from sales in her brother’s shop to meet the demands
of Pastor Aniude.
Pastor Aniude narrated the ordeal saying: “I am an Assistant Pastor
with Triumphant Kings Assembly. I have been in ministry for five years
now. I am jobless. I met Chiamaka on Facebook in December, 2013. I
promised to marry her. Then, she started sending money to my bank account in Enugu. I visited her at Ibadan twice and collected the sum of N1million from her.”
“I have to send my wife away with my two kids from my house to Aba.
When I told my wife that I wanted to marry a second wife but she
refused, that prompted me to send her packing. “I used part of the money
Chiamaka was sending to buy a car and built a bungalow in my village at
Nochele Ndeaboli in Aliri Local Government Area, Enugu State. “I
deceived her that I wanted to marry her on Christmas Day, December 25,
2014. I also lied to her that I had a motor accident. I rescheduled it
for February 14, 2015. I lied to her again that armed robbers attacked
me. I rescheduled it for Easter period, April 4, 2015 before the police
anti-kidnappers squad arrested my wife, my Pastor Sam Ezenagu before I
was arrested”.
Explaining how his younger brother in prison was involved, he said,
“It was when I have duped her that I handed over her phone number to my
younger brother, Tobias who is currently serving in Enugu prison yard.
My younger brother called Chiamaka and told her that the wedding
invitation cards were ready but that I am not serious and he is ready to
marry her and so she should send him money.”
Chiamaka in defense said, “I met Pastor Abel Bernard Aniude on
Facebook in December 2013 and we started chatting on Facebook. Pastor
Abel deceived me that he wanted to marry me. I worked in the shop of my
brother, Emmauel Ojiaku who sells electronics in Ibadan. I started to
send N700,000 and N300,000 to Pastor Abel through his UBA and Diamond
account numbers”.
“In July 2014, Pastor Abel came to Ibadan and lodged in a hotel and
after having sex with me, I gave him N300,000. Also on September,
2014, Pastor Abel came to Ibadan and lodged again in same hotel and
after having sex me, I gave him N700,000. I don’t known how I ended up
sending N4 million into his bank accounts.” “My family should forgive
me. I was deceived. I have learnt my lesson in a hard way”, she said.
Her brother who is still shocked at the turn out of events said,
“Chiamaka is my blood sister. She was in the village in Nnewi, Anambra
State where one guy impregnated her and later the guy denied the
pregnancy, she delivered the baby and after sometimes, the baby died. I
went to the village in Nnewi and brought her to Ibadan to stay with me
so that she will not suffer”.
“I deal in electrical appliances
in Ibadan. I took my sister, Chiamaka to be like a sales girl.
Suddenly my wife took ill and had to take her to India for treatment.
“Chiamaka was in charge of my shop. I didn’t suspect her rather I
handed over the shop to her. It was March 27, 2015 when Chiamaka came
back from the shop and I discovered that she was having N1700, which led
to searching of her room and I discovered N65,000 under her bed. I
brought out cutlass and threatened her and collected her phone before
she confessed to me that she has sent over N4 million to Pastor Abel.”
The General Overseer of
Triumphant Kings Assembly, 47-year-old Pastor Sam Ezenagu where Pastor
Abel works as Assistant Pastor had this to say, “I was doing
counselling in my church, four years ago when Pastor Abel walked in and
told me that he wanted to assist me in my ministry. We started working
together. Every Sunday service we always give him N3,000.
“Suddenly, Pastor Abel brought a Honda Sport car and we celebrated it
and asked him where he got the car. Pastor Abel told me that it was one
of those he prays for that gave him the car. The church rejoiced with
him. Also, in some months, I will not see Pastor Abel and if I call him,
he would tell me he was doing some business somewhere.”
“It was April 12, 2015, Pastor Abel called me that policemen has
(sic) arrested his wife. I ran to Aba. I asked whether there is any
problem, I took a lawyer along
with Pastor Abel and that was how he was arrested. Pastor Abel had to
confess that he always dupe (sic) some ladies on Facebook and how he got
involved in the N4 million scam.”
CP Adamu assured that Pastor Abel will soon be charged to court for trial.
