Pastor Sent To Prison For Allegedly Giving Fake Prophecy
The founder and General Overseer of Faith Alive Christian Centre located at 43, Dada Olowu Street, Abule Taylor, in Abule Egba, Lagos State, southwest Nigeria, has been sent to prison for allegedly giving false prophecy to a member of his church.
It was learnt that Pastor Obi Ofoedu, who hails from Abatete in Idemili Local Government in Anambra State, was a clearing agent before he claimed that he had a call from God three years ago to establish the church.
The pastor landed in trouble during the church service after he claimed that he received a divine vision that his church member, Mrs Favour Okafor, would face calamity in her place of work and she can only avert the impending doom if she comes to the church for special prayers.
Mrs. Okafor said she disregarded the prophecy and challenged the pastor for giving her a false prophecy.
She told the pastor that he did not receive the vision from God and nothing bad would happen to her.
This infuriated the pastor who allegedly said that she would be inflicted with stroke and illnesses for doubting his prophecy.
Mrs. Okafor narrated that she left the church in anger and went to report to the police at Idimu Area ‘M’ Command that Pastor Ofoedu was threatening her life.
When Pastor Ofoedu was arrested, he denied the allegation.
He told the police that he only gave Mrs. Okafor the message he received from God but she was not comfortable with it.
He added that he cannot retract the message because he was only a messenger of God, saying that the complainant should not attend his church if she does not like the vision.
The pastor was subsequently charged to court for conduct likely to cause breach of peace by threatening Mrs.Okafor with illness.
Pastor Ofoedu pleaded not guilty to the charge.
The presiding magistrate, Mr P.E. Nwaka, granted him bail in the sum of N50,000 with two sureties in like sum.
He was remanded in prison custody pending when he will perfect his bail conditions.

Rich Arab men showing off their 'ultimate status symbols'
From UK Daily Mail
For mega-wealthy young men of the Gulf Arab states nothing says 'I am rich' more aptly than to Instagram yourself and your lion or cheetah posing alongside your Mercedes or Lamborghini or motoring along in a speedboat.
Showing off the Persian Gulf's latest 'ultimate status symbol', the penchant for posting big cat photos on Instagram betrays the young men's sheer bravado or stupidity, depending on your point of view. Indeed, while the intimacy on display the owners seem to share with their cats is clearly touching, others could possibly think of better ways to flaunt their wealth than sharing feeding time or bathing with fully grown 400pound lions
Eagerly followed by over 250,000 followers on the popular photo-sharing website, Humaid AlBuQaish, has become cult viewing as he regularly posts himself and his big cats online.
While it is not entirely clear what AlBuQaish does for a living or how he accumulated his fabulous wealth and pets, it is clear that he lives a life of luxury that most can only dream of.
Trusting his cats implicitly, AlBuQaish is pictured feeding his menagerie of lethal predators and wrestling with them - all the while showing off the fact that he owns such magnificent creatures.
The trade in big cats in the Gulf reflects how status among the wealthy is all important, where a rare white lion will sell for around $50,000.
