Pastor offered me N2.5m to kidnap my neigbour's son,made love to me in dream'- ''Prayer Warrior'' woman
Last week, posted a story about a 'prayer warrior' woman who kidnapped her neighbour's 7 year old son (Here)
..According to new information by Punch, the mother of four, Mrs. 
Rosemary Chukwu, in Majidun area of Ikorodu, Lagos,claimed in her 
statement given to the police after her arrest, that Pastor Ernest 
Nwankwo of the Holy Family Happy Family Ministry (aka House of Mercy) 
offered to pay her N2.5m if he could deliver the child..
According to Chukwu’s statement, the pastor had appeared to her many 
times in her dream and had even made love to her in dreams before she 
decided to do his bidding.
Chukwu, who was said to have been a choir mistress at House of Mercy,
 had alleged at the time that the popular pastor sent her to kidnap the 
child, whom she gagged and stuffed in a large luggage.
Chukwu, who was nearly lynched by residents of the area before police
 intervention last week Wednesday, has now told the police that the 
genesis of the kidnapping plan was when she approached the pastor for a 
loan.
Our source said,
“The woman said that when she told the pastor that she needed some 
money, the pastor told her that he could only lend her the money if she 
could bring a child in return.She told us that the pastor promised to 
give her N2.5m in return if she could get a child by any means and 
deliver the child.”
However, Saturday PUNCH learnt that the pastor who is being detained 
at the Department of Criminal Investigation, Panti, Lagos, has denied 
Chukwu’s allegations.
Our correspondent noticed that Nwankwo’s church has shut down its website.
When our correspondent visited the church premises at Majidun on 
Wednesday, it was locked up. Residents of the area said nobody had 
visited the church since the police who had initially barricaded the 
place against looters left.
Our correspondent who spoke with Kelvin Emeka, the kidnapped child’s 
father on Friday, learnt of the emotional struggle the young boy has 
been combating since he was saved from his kidnapper.
Emeka described Chukwu as a reserved praying woman, who kept mostly to herself.
He said,
 “We only know each other as co-tenants and within the two years that
 we lived in the same compound,nobody saw or knew her husband.When we 
were at the police station, she was asked of the phone number of her 
husband, she did not know it. She was also asked to provide the address 
of his workplace, she could not provide that as well.All I can say is 
that God loves my family. That was why she did not succeed in taking my 
child away to the ritual killers who sent her.Emmanuel still feels pain 
on his neck where the woman tried to strangle him before she put him in 
the luggage but the hospital did a qgreat job on him. He is still 
undergoing treatment but he has been discharged.”
He said the boy has been having panic attacks since he was discharged from hospital.
Nobody can touch him anymore, not even my siblings. The only people 
whom he allows to touch him now are his mother and I. He sees every 
other person suspiciously and
gets scared when they want to touch him. But I know he would be okay. God has delivered him"
Emeka said the day Chukwu was caught by residents of their 
neighbourhood, a green sports utility vehicle picked up the suspect’s 
four children and they have not been seen since then.
But the man is concerned for the safety of his family.
“I don’t know what the members of that pastor’s church are planning. I
 don’t know the kind of arrangement he (Nwankwo) must have made before 
he was arrested. The police should ensure nobody harms my family because
 it is no longer my family that has a case with him. It is a criminal 
case being prosecuted by the police, not me,
