Two Pastor
Dada Babaroti and Clement Olatunde Fabeku have been arrested by Officials of
the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), for allegedly defrauding
and sexually abusing innocent worshipers in their respective churches.
Fabeku who
operates the Truth and Life Bible Church located in Ilorin, Kwara State capital
and Babaroti who is the General Overseer of the Blood of Jesus Christ, in
Idanre area of Ondo State, reportedly extorted money from unsuspecting
worshipers by using diabolical and fetish means.
The state
NSCDC Commandant, Pedro Awili Idebo, who spoke to news-men said the suspects’
arrest came after members reported their criminal activities.
“They also obtained various sums of
money running into millions of naira from members of their congregations under
the false pretences. Section 3 (1) G expressly empowers the Corps to monitor
the activities of religious bodies and trade associations.
We use this opportunity to warn the
fake clergymen and women to urgently relocate from the state or face the law of
the land.” Idebo, however, said that the command had begun a clampdown on
fraudsters in the state and would team up with other sister agencies to rid the
state of criminals”
he said.
