The Edo State Police Command, Nigeria, has arrested a self-acclaimed prophet, Benson Nosakhare, for allegedly defrauding members of the public with fake prophecies.

The self-acclaimed prophet Nosakhare was arrested after one of his victims, Mr. Osamudiamen Thompson, petitioned the Commissioner of Police, Edo State, alleging that he was hypnotized and his car collected by prophet Nosakhare.

Mr. Thompson, who claimed he was hypnotized, said he gifted the ‘prophet’ his car after he told him he saw him in a vision where he had an accident with his Lexus ES 350 car.

The victim further claimed that after he came back to his senses, he noticed that the prophet had already changed the color of the car from gold to black and was already using it.

A statement released by Edo police spokesperson, SP Bello Kontongs, confirming the arrest, reads;

“The operatives of Edo State Police Command on 03/05/2022 arrested a fraudster masquerading as prophet Benson Nosakhare ‘M’ who prey on gullible members of the public through the use of false prophecy and divine pronouncements.

“One of his victims Mr. Osamudiamen Thompson ‘M’ of Osemwenkhae Street, Ikpoba Hill, Benin City in a petition addressed to the Commissioner of Police Edo State, complained that he was hypnotized by prophet Benson Nosakhare ‘M’ of Power Ground Chapel Incorporated situated at No. 3 Uwa street off 2nd East Circular Road, Benin city.

“According to the victim, the prophet claimed he saw him in a vision where he had an accident with his Lexus ES 350 car. He said the prophet told him that for him to avert the accident he should use the car to sow seed to the Lord which he did in his church.

“He further stated that after he came back to his senses, he noticed that the prophet had already changed the color of the car from gold to black and was already using it.

“The suspect had confessed to the crime and will be charged in court accordingly. The following cars were recovered during a search of his apartment in Benin City. A Lexus ES 350 car and Lexus RX 350 jeep were obtained from Odigie Godspower using the same fake prophetic pronouncements”.
