Popular Lagos Reverend Arrested and Detained For Fraud

A popular Lagos-based pastor, known as Rev. Praise Bassey, has been arrested by the Lagos State Criminal Investigation Department, Yaba, for duping a female contractor.

Reverend “Bassey told the contractor that the cost of the car was N3m. She was to pay the amount into his Zenith bank account. After the money was paid, Bassey became evasive.”

Bassey, who runs his church, Household of Destiny, from his three-bedroom apartment at Gani Dabiri Street, Ajao Estate, was said to have collected the money in 2010 under the guise of buying the contractor a 1X35 Hyundai car.
