An Anambra State-based pastor, Ejike Nwachukwu, has rejected ₦4million and a Sports Utility Vehicle offered to him by two suspected internet fraudsters in exchange for prayers.

According to Punch, the suspected fraudsters had met Pastor Ejike Nwachukwu in his office to pray for the success of a deal they were to engage in.

After studying them, the pastor, who is a lawyer asked what their source of income is.

The Pastor revealed :
“Two young men came to my office the other day with ₦2m cash.

“They said it was seed offering and that they had a business they were looking forward to God to bless soon and that the money was seed offering.

“I looked at the two young boys with ₦2m. I asked them what business they were expecting and they said it was a deal and that they would bring more money to me once the deal paid off. They promised to buy me a SUV.

“I prayed and the Lord revealed to me that it was Internet fraud and I told them so and they confirmed it was true.

“I walked them out of my office, but one returned with an extra ₦2m in the hope that if the money was much, I would accept it, but I sent them out.”

The clergyman described those who indulged in Internet fraud as worse than armed robbers.
