Operatives of the Benin Zonal Directorate of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC),  have arrested three suspected fraudsters –  Odion Victor, Amos Godwin and Ayomide Michael for impersonating Evangelist Chukwuebuka Obi of Zion Prayer Movement Outreach on social media platforms to defraud unsuspecting members of the public.

According to the Head, Media and Publicity, EFCC, Mr Dele Oyewale, the suspects  were arrested  following credible intelligence that uncovered how they allegedly cloned the social media accounts of Obi and deceived many of his church members to give money towards treatment of some purported sick people, sow seeds for spiritual breakthrough or for special prayers, with  the money paid into the bank accounts of the fraudsters.

The suspects will be charged to court as soon as investigations are concluded.

Obi is a Nigerian Evangelist, Singer, Author, Teacher and Prophet.

He is the pioneer and spiritual director of Zion Prayer Movement Outreach (ZPMO); a non-denominational ministry, established in 2009, headquartered in Lagos, Nigeria with over 170 branches worldwide.

Founder of Seraphic Home Foundation – a safe haven for the less privileged; widows, widowers, orphans, sick, mentally deranged, destitute, and homeless in society.

Obi also instituted Seraphic Hospital – a world-class, medical and maternity center in Lagos, Nigeria, where top-notch medical care is given to patients from all walks of life by highly trained, well experienced and fully dedicated medical personnel.

Furthermore, he established a table water company called Seraphic Water – a carefully purified water, hydrates and refreshes thousands of people around the world with unending streams of testimonies recorded on a daily, of the supernatural healing, deliverance, and restoration taking place upon drinking or applying this water with faith.

Evang Obi, a dynamic minister of Yahweh who started prophesying at the tender age of 8, had people troop into his Father’s compound from different places in search of him.

He was later discovered and spiritually groomed by the Late Fr Luke Odikaemerem of Orlu Diocese of the Catholic Church. After his education, he went off to Lagos for greener pastures which he hoped would be more beneficial to him as a young man.

He apprenticed and got established in the cable business, but his thriving business could not quench the fire of the Holy Spirit burning in him. One morning, he heard a voice echo in his ears, instructing him to shut down his business for full-time evangelism, that he had the anointing of the Holy Spirit upon him (with the bible verse Isaiah 61). Complying with this instruction was quite arduous as his family was antagonistic. At last, it came to pass and Zion Prayer Movement Outreach (ZPMO) was born
