The Head of Media and Publicity of the EFCC, Dele Oyewale, disclosed in a statement made available to journalists in Ilorin on Saturday that the clergyman was arrested on Tuesday, April 2, 2024.

Oyewale explained that the victim, Oluwole Babarinsa, had alleged in a petition to the commission that James called him out during a church programme in 2021, claiming to have had a revelation that he would travel abroad.

According to the petitioner, the cleric, during the revelation, asked him about his preferred country, to which he replied, “Canada”.

Babarinsa sold some of his property and took loans to raise N3,980,000, which he gave to the prophet to facilitate his quick relocation to Canada with his friend in Lagos.

However, when there was no progress and his efforts to get a refund failed, he confronted the prophet, who then claimed to have a friend in Lagos who could facilitate his relocation to Canada for additional fees.

The EFCC stated that the suspect would be arraigned in court upon the conclusion of investigations.
