A self-acclaimed pastor, John Ojebe, 50, has
been charged before an Oshodi Magistrate’s
Court in Lagos for allegedly obtaining N390,000
from one Hawo Umoru under the pretense of
selling her Adonai oil to wash her private parts
with.
Ojebe was also said to have conspired with two
others, now at large, to commit felony, to wit
obtaining money by false pretence and stealing
N390,000 belonging to the victim.
The accused, whose address remains unknown,
was said to have committed the offences at
Sura Mogaji Street, off Coker Road, Ilupeju,
Lagos State.
He was arraigned by the police on a three-count
charge of obtaining money by false pretence and
stealing.
However, when the charge was read to the
accused before Magistrate Akeem Fashola, he
pleaded not guilty.
One of the charges read: “That you John Ojebe,
with two others at large, on April 13, 2014, at
about 11am along Sura Mogaji Street, off Coker
Road, Ilupeju in the Lagos State Magisterial
District, did obtain N390,000 from one Hawo
Umoru under the pretence of selling to her one
Adonai oil for washing of her private part.”
Police prosecutor, Sergeant Kehinde Olatunde,
informed the court that the offence was
punishable under Section 410 of the Criminal
Laws of Lagos State of Nigeria, 2011.
Following the application for the accused’s bail
by his counsel, Mr. Michael Olisah, the
magistrate granted him bail in the sum of
N100,000 with one responsible sureties, who
must have paid tax for three years and whose
address should be verified.
The matter was adjourned till April 27 for further
