One suspected fake prophet, Steven Maduabuchi from Afaraukwu Umuahia yesterday evening ran into trouble when some youths from Umuika Okwu Olokoro caught him while trying to bury an object alleged to be charm within the village square. The suspect who claim to be thirty years old said that he sells necklaces at Lagos and explained when asked, that his motive was to organize an outreach in the Olokoro village next week.
The
said Steven Maduabuchi disclosed to Vision Africa Radio correspondent,
Felix Obani that the secret behind the act was to proclaim fake
prophesy in order to attract firm to his ministry. When questioned
further, the suspected fake evangelist revealed that he was sent by his
leader that resides in Aba called Chibuike John who was busy calling
him on phone to ascertain if he has succeeded
in burying the charms.
The items recovered
from him include one small empty coffin made with plywood, tied red mud
pot, old snail shell tied with white wrapper, black rope including sea
shell (eze-ego). However Steven Maduabuchi said that he learnt the fake
prophesy work from his leader in Aba and the one in Lagos and confessed
that the charms are harmless. Investigations revealed that he had
successfully buried two charms before he was caught.
Meanwhile
the leaders of Umuika Okwu Olokoro including Senator Chris Adighije,
Chief Alozie Ukaegbu among others pardoned the fake prophet and forced
him to destroy the charm before them with serious warning for him to
desist from such unholy attitude. They commended the youths for not
taking laws into their hands and advised the young man to embrace God
and also look for a genuine job rather that deceiving people and
misrepresenting God.
