Popular Pastor Allegedly Absconds With 52 Phones, Money After Crusade

Dr. Owen Abraham, a pastor, is accused of fleeing with 52 Android and iPhones, money, and other valuables from worshipers who attended a crusade organized by him at Aponrin in the Agbowo area of Ibadan.

According to some of his victims, the said crusader was led by God to come to Ibadan from Gambia for the crusade.

On the final day of the three-day crusade, Abraham claimed that the Holy Spirit directed him to tell people to hand in their phones and valuables, but he later absconded with them.

According to the victims, Abraham, who enticed them into three days of fasting and prayer, was nowhere to be found on the final day of the crusade, and all attempts to reach him were futile.
