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
