The merchant reportedly came to the fake pastor’s church for prayers in Byazhin, Kubwa, a satellite town in the federal capital territory (FCT).
Spokesman for the Kubwa police division, Nurrudeen Sabo, confirmed the case, saying that a member of the church who intervened on behalf of the pastor has been arrested and would be charged to court.
He, however, said efforts were on to arrest the pastor who is said to have run away after the victim came back to him with a complaint that he was having issues with his manhood.
According to City News, a resident of the area, had gone to the pastor to pray for him for prosperity in his business at the instance of a friend who convinced him that he (the pastor) had been instrumental to the success of others in their establishments.
The source said the pastor gave the trader a bottle of water to bath with after praying for him.
He allegedly complied with the instruction, only to notice that his genital organ could no longer function after two days.
The source added that: “The man came back to complain to the pastor, but he told him that he had no problem, and simply dismissed his case psychological.”
One of the members of the church, who believed the case would dent the image of the church, tried to play a fast one on the issue.
He took the victim to a hospital, where series of tests, which he alleged were negative, were run, but the victim, who did not fall for the tricks of the pastor and his members reported to the police as the ailment persisted.
The police invited member of the church for interrogation and the one who took the businessman for varied tests, was remanded.
In another development, a fake pastor and two disciples who allegedly faked miracles and healing to deceive church members and the public, have been arrested by officers of the 2nd-Brigade of the Nigerian Army in Port Harcourt, Rivers state.
