The Federal Special Anti Robbery Squad
SARS has arrested a 38-year-old journalist, Ohio Ojeagbase, who allegedly
specialised in blackmailing popular pastors and celebrities in the country.
The command also arrested another
Lawyer, Barr. Uche Iloani who was accused of working together with the
journalist to extort money from highly placed men of God and prominent people
in the country.
According to investigations and counter
investigations we gathered that Mr Ohio had blackmailed many clergymen
bout business men in the country. The suspect according to information
made available to us are used to planting people in form of staffers into the
homes and working places of their targets to understand all about them and then
plan how to penetrate. On the case of Bishop Chris kwakpovwe, the publisher
of popular the daily devotional booklet OUR DAILY MANNA, and the General
Overseer of the Manna Prayer Mountain,\ they had planted a lady in his ministry
to function as a staff whose job is to get the blackmailers updated with
information about the Clergy man to ease their blackmail plans It was reliably gathered that one Ms
Rita, had been who had been working with the ministry since about 5 years, and
who was functioning in the media department HOD for about two years now,
was accused of losing (stealing) media and video equipments worth the tune of
N5.6million and
when she was asked to pay which has been the norm in the
ministry from inception, that any ,issing item under any HOD will be paid by
that HOD and the supervisor! The said RITA absconded from the church ofice
claiming she was not a thief. This prompted her arrest by the church/ODM ministry
management and a case was filled at the Area H police command in Ogudu, Lagos.
It was the arrest that now brought out Barrister Uche Iloano who claimed to be
her counsel and asked for her to be released with immediate effect with a plea
to the ministry to settle out of court. But as soon as the release was made and
bail granted, the journalist Mr OHIO Ojeagbase surfaced and sent a letter with
his letter headed paper, Probiters Report, addressed to the bishop for trying
to maltreat and threaten the life of one his staff and that they were going to
publish a story in that regards. This was when the issues of blackmail started
occurring where they now started demanding for millions of naira to kill the
story. A meeting was held
with this team of people who involved Barrister Uche Iloano, Mr Ohio the
journalist and the suspect Ms Rita. And in the meeting after a lot of empty
accusations and threat to publish negative story of sexual harrasement and
threat to life, etc, about the Bishop, they "agreed" to make a
settlement to avoid the story going viral claiming they don’t want to damage
the name of the revered man of God. It now seemed at this stage that they
had set up this RITA as mole to record her purported conversations over the
years with the bishop. They claimed: "WHATEVER WE TELL THE PUBLIC WILL BE
BELEIVED since we have 250 million online membership." They added: "
It will take the bishop years to repair any damage done. Please pay up
now." The lawyer therefore
asked for N15million naira for inconveniencies tagged as professional fees and
the inconveniences his client Ms Rita had gone through during her arrest,
while the Journalist requested for 50% of whatever is paid to the lawyer. In the pretence of agreeing to their
terms, the money was negotiated and they later arrived at N18million for both
the journalist and the lawyer.
GIVE US YOUR PROPERTY!
But when the man of God through his
publicist complained of not having up to such amount of money, they suggested
to him to bring a property document (ORIGINAL DOCUMENTS) and they will help him
facilitate a quick loan from a bank so he can make the payment without stress. This was where the man of God knew it
very clearly that this plan was meant to be blackmail him and he promptly
reported the case to the police who advised that further meetings BE
ELCTRONICALLY RECORED! And that was done! We gathered that another meeting was
then arranged for the payment to be made on Wednesday 12 April, 2017 and for
them to finally meet with the Bishop at an arranged venue around Ogudu Lagos
state. When everyone had arrived for the meeting and they were almost starting,
the men of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad stormed the place and arrested
everybody there sited. The case according to the investigative Police Officer
IPO, will be charged to court today Thursday 13 April 2017, while other
investigations are still ongoing. Speaking on the plot to be blackmailed by the
notorious blackmailers, The Bishop told Journalist that he had planned this
arrest from the beginning of this whole matter. “The Holy Spirit had told me
that this was a plot to bring me down as a man of God but I was proactive in my
approach to get to the bottom before they will carry out their nefarious acts
and go scot free.” He added that
“Hence this ASTONISHING RECORDED EVIDENCE and their eventual arrested. Let the
court decide on what their fate will be. Why would people just cook up evil
plans and stories to blackmail and try to get wealthy without work? In God I
trust."
