Crime in church

TWO clergy men, Pastor Glory Abrefera and Reverend Vincent Okpogo, would on Monday, January 7, know their fate following their involvement in a N50m failed deposit belonging to one of their customers.

Abrefera and Okpogo, Crime &Security learnt were standingtrial for carrying out banking business under the company name of Mustard Seed Micro Investment Ltd Warri, Delta State, an act said to be an offence contrary to section 2(2) of the banks and other financial institution act cap B3 volume 2 laws of the Federation of Nigeria 2004.

Some of the clients of the suspects who lost substantial amount of money in the region of N50 million naira haddragged the operators of the bank to the Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC) to enable them get back their deposit.

There was a mild drama at the court premises when the suspects were brought for hearing.
The men of God protested vehemently againstjournalists and the EFCC photographer taking their photographs.

The drama lasted several minutes and was curtailed by the officers of the court who prevailed on the EFCC officials to allow peace to reign before the commencement of the hearing.

The development thus generated more interest from people around the court before they were eventually led into the dock.

However, the judge, Justice Ibrahim Buba, who flew in from Lagos, his new judicial division, fixed January 7, 2013for the next hearing.

The Pastors were, therefore, remanded in EFCC custody.
