The 43-year-old Pastor allegedly collected various sums of money from the victim under the guise of helping her secure a job at NNPC between 2019 and 2020.
The Pastor who resides at number 1, Ore Ofe, Irese Road Akure, the state capital, became incommunicado ever since 2020.

The Public Relations Officer(PRO) of the NSCDC Ondo Command, Daniel Aidamenbor, noted that Taiwo Opesanmi met the Pastor at a prayer mountain somewhere at Ijoka in Akure through a referral.
According to him, “The Counter Terrorism Unit of the command was able to track down and arrest the suspect with the cooperation of a commercial bank after obtaining a court order.
“At the point of the investigation, another victim of the Pastor also accused him of selling land to her using a fake deed of gift for N800,000.
“She had to pay another N1m to the rightful owner of the land since she already had a structure on it.
“The suspect already made a written confessional statement and will have his day in court after the investigation for breaching Section 419 of the Criminal Code Act.”
