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,

            There was tension at the Oruba quarters in Ota, Ogun State, Saturday morning, as a 13-year-old-boy was stabbed to death during a carnival which turned violent. Several people, including old women and men have been arrested by the Sango Ota divisional police station in connection with the incident. There was, however, a mild drama as policemen also arrested the cow and chairs bought for the carnival. An eyewitness, who pleaded anonymity, said that the problem started on Friday night when Oruba youths organised a pre-carnival before the Saturday event. Trouble started when a street urchin in the area, accused a 13-year-old boy of stepping on his feet. The deceased, identified as Azeez, had hardly said a word when the urchin allegedly broke a bottle, stabbed him in the neck and ran away. The incident brought a temporary halt to the carnival as the reveller tried to assist the injured boy who died on a bike ...

UK Government Clears Bishop Oyedepo Of N3.4Bn Charity Fraud, Allowed Back Into UK

The UK Charity Commission, has absolved Winners Chapel International of complicity in the alleged misappropriation of N3.4bn charity funds. In a recently published report, the agency said Winners Chapel International, also known as World Mission Agency, showed “good financial controls” for an organisation of its size. While maintaining that the “ employment of an individual who was related to the founder” generated a potential conflict, the Commission said it was satisfied with the decision of the trustees in respect of the employment. “Our review of the charity’s financial information identified minor discrepancies. However, the trustees were able to explain and resolve these. We found no evidence that N3.4bn or any other amount had been misappropriated. “We were satisfied the charity could demonstrate good financial controls appropriate for a large and expanding charity”, said the report. The Commission further said in...

   at the week­end in Asaba, Delta State when a hungry dog attacked and killed a four-month-old baby boy. Although, some people tired in vain to rescue the baby alive, the boy died few minutes thereafter. His mother was conveying the dog, the little child and her nanny in her car. The woman simply identi­fied as Mrs Akowe, stopped at a supermarket, leaving the nanny, the child and the dog in the car. The dog started behaving funny and started eating up the child, simply called Chinonso. The helpless nanny ran into the supermarket to alert the mother. The madam immedi­ately raised the alarm, but be­fore help could come, the dog had already eaten up part of the baby’s stomach. The two security guards in the supermarket succeeded in killing the dog while the baby was rushed to a nearby hospital where he was confirmed dead. An eyewitness, George Ojeogwu, said: “I was in the supermarket on Okpanam Road when the dog bit the owner’s child to death. I learnt that th...
