NSCDC officials arrest pastor over scam in Ondo

Operatives of the NSCDC have confirmed the arrest of a Pastor, Adebolu Olulusi Ayodeji, Male, 43 years of number 1, Ore Ofe, Irese road Akure, Ondo state.

The suspect was arrested for defrauding Mrs Taiwo Opesanmi of the sum of One Million, Two Hundred and Eighty Thousand Naira (N1,280,000).

Mrs Taiwo Opesanmi met the Pastor at a prayer mountain somewhere at Ijoka in Akure through a referral. She alleged him of collecting various sums of money from her under the guise of helping her to secure a job at NNPC between 2019 and 2020 before Adebolu became incommunicado ever since.

The Counter Terrorism Unit of the command was able to track down and arrested the suspect with the cooperation of a commercial bank after obtaining a court order.

At the point of investigation, another victim of the Pastor also accused him of selling a land to her using a fake deed of gift for Eight Hundred Thousand Naira (N800,000). She had to pay another One Million naira (N1, 000,000) to the rightful owner of the land since she already had a structure on it.

The suspect already made written confessional statement and will have his day in court at the completion of investigation for breaching Section 419 of the Criminal code Act.
