A Pastor, Dr. Owen Abraham, has allegedly absconded with 52 Androids and iPhones, money, and other valuables of worshipers that attended a crusade organized by him at Aponrin in the Agbowo area of Ibadan.

According to some of the victims, the crusader who is now at large said he was led by God to come to Ibadan from Gambia for the crusade.

The victims said Abraham, who lured them into three days fasting and prayer was nowhere to be found on the last day of the crusade. And all efforts to reach him proved abortive.

“Someone in my area invited me for the crusade. the crusader wear Pastor regalia. He said he will buy a house for one of us and that the house will be fully furnished.” said one of the victims, Mrs. Akintola, a widow.

“He promised some people that attended the crusade money. Even politicians can not give out such money.”

“On the last day of the crusade, he sold a bottle of water for us at the rate of N4,800. He said perfume is inside the bottled water. many people paid for it.”

“He said no phone should ring, that was why he collected all the phones. In fact, a lady stood up and wanted to take his photographs. But he seized the phone from her.” Another victim, a student of the University of Ibadan (UI) told newsmen.

“On the last day of the crusade, he said he wanted to go and rest at the hotel where he lodged. He later said he wanted to go and eat at UI. we don’t know how he escaped with our belongings.”

“As a man of God, we respected him a lot. we didn’t know that he wanted to use the name of God to dupe us.”

Meanwhile, Abraham has been declared wanted by people in the area. Posters bearing his name and pictures have been circulated within the area to track him down.
