nOperatives of the Ogun State Police Command have arrested a suspected serial fraudster and alleged fake clergyman, identified as Kehinde Makinde, popularly known as “Pastor Kenny.”
nAccording to the command, Makinde was arrested in Ibadan, Oyo State, on August 3 after four months of intelligence gathering and discreet investigation.
nThe State Commissioner of Police, Bode Ojajuni, disclosed this in a statement issued on Monday by the command’s Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Oluseyi Babaseyi.
nThe police alleged that the suspect had manipulated unsuspecting victims under the guise of spiritual deliverance across Ogun, Oyo and Osun states.
nPreliminary investigation, according to the command, showed that he allegedly collected about N2.5 million from 18 fellowship members in Saje, Adatan, under the pretext of organising a government-sponsored pilgrimage to Jerusalem and promising each participant N2 million.
nHe remains in police custody as investigators work to identify additional victims and apprehend his alleged accomplices.
