Find the EFCC Press statement below:

Justice F. O Ohwo of Delta State High Court, Warri, Delta State, on Wednesday, December 10, 2014, convicted and sentenced Pastor Glory Okeoghene Abrefera and Reverend Vincent Okpogu to seven (7) years imprisonment each for stealing depositors' fundsamounting to N32million ( Thirty- Two Million Naira only).

The two clergymen were nabbed after deceiving unsuspecting members of the public into investing in Mustard Seed Micro Investment Limited, a wonder bank, and defrauded them of their hard-earned money.

While delivering judgment today, Justice Ohwo convicted the accused persons on all of the nine count charges preferred against them by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission EFCC.

They were sentenced to seven years imprisonment on each count. The sentence is to run concurrently.

According to the judge, the convicts will serve the seven-year term at Okere Prisons in Warri, Delta State, after completing the ten years sentence they are currently serving for illegal banking.

It would be recalled that Abrefera and Okpogu were on January 7, 2013, convicted and sentenced to ten (10) years imprisonment by Justice I. N. Buba of the Federal High Court Asaba, on a 4-count charge, for operating a wonder bank called Mustard Seed Micro Investment Limited.According to the prosecutor, Mr. G. K. Latona,"the convicts are still answering to other chargesat Otor-Udu High Court for related offences.

Wolves in sheep clothing! So many are still out there, defrauding gullible Christians of their hard-earned money. However, it does not negate the fact that there are are still clergy men that are worthy of trust out there.

For the sentenced pastors thieves, your ministries have been extended! Go into the prison and preach the gospel

They pay tithes in prison in ministry. Just visit any prison fellowship and verify.

Do prisoners earn income It would be the most callous thing for any pastor to even collect offerings from prisoners talkless of tithes.

So many people parading themselves as Pastors where as, they are not. Heaven doesn't recognise them because they are not called by God. They hide under the name pastor, to defraud the gaullible ones. We still have Pastors, recognised by heaven, called by God, they are few though.

But this will not do, God will certainly
punish you for stealing and for being
unfaithful.

ok

Pastors everywhere, wanting to become as rich as hell.
