Police to quiz pastor who asked followers to pay N310,000 to make heaven
A preacher, Nuah Abraham, who reportedly asked congregants to “part with N310,000 for them to prepare for the end of the world” has been invited for questioning by the police in Ekiti.
Mr Abraham of the Christ High Commission Ministry had asked members to relocate to a camp in Araromi-Ugbesi in Omuo-Oke-Ekiti to “prepare for the end of the world”, the police said.
Police spokesperson in the state, Sunday Abutu, said the pastor relocated from Kaduna where his church is known as known as Royal Christ Assembly.
Mr Abutu said the invitation is to allow the preacher explain himself.
One of Mr Abraham’s church members confirmed to journalists that the pastor first relocated to Ekiti in 2021 from his former base in Kaduna State.
“He later returned to Kaduna State in April to ask each member of his church to pay him N310,000 before they are allowed to follow him to Araromi-Ugbesi in Omuo-Oke-Ekiti in Ekiti East,’’ the faithful said.
However, the source who pleaded for anonymity added that the pastor preached that it was where “the gate of heaven will open for all of them to fly to heaven”.
