Pastor arrested for defrauding Church-member of N7m

The Pastor of Christ Citizen Glorious Assembly, Okota, Lagos, Pastor Ikechukwu Ezeiru, has been charged with fraud at an Ebute Meta Chief Magistrate’s Court.

He was arraigned on Tuesday for allegedly defrauding a church member, Ifeanyi Ohazurume, of N7m.

The police said Ezeiru collected the money to help the defendant purchase auction goods from the Nigerian Customs Service.

He allegedly didn’t return the money or the goods.

It was learnt that the pastor claimed to have given the money to his wife, who equally claimed to have passed it to someone else.

He was arraigned on three counts of obtaining under false pretences and stealing.
