A 25 year old boy has been arrested over the looting of millions of naira from pastors and business men

A 25 years old boy has been arrested over the looting of millions of naira from business men, Jehu said his victims included Bishop David Oyedepo of Living
Faith Church Worldwide, who he claimed gave him N500,000;
the Chairman, Honeywell Group, Oba Otudeko, N1m; Admiral
Ndubuisi Kanu, N500,000; businessman, Alhaji Aminu Dantata,
N2m.
He said, “I collected N500,000 from Otudeko, CEO, Honeywell:
From Admiral Kanu, I got N500,000. I also got N500,000 from
Bishop Oyedepo and N2m from Dantata. I also got money from
Gen. Wushishi and others."
“I opened a Guaranty Trust Bank account in Bishop Kukah’s
name. I registered a SIM card in my name, but used Bishop
Kukah’s picture on my True Caller account, so that when I call,
his picture would appear (on the recipient’s phone.)”
Kwasu, who is serving a two-month sentence in the Keffi
Prison, admitted on Friday in Abuja that he realised over
N5.7m.
Police sources said only N1.7m was found in his bank
account, adding that the suspect spent most of the money he
made on girls and hard drugs.
It was gathered that Kwasu, the son of late Anglican Bishop,
James Kwasu, also exploited his father’s name, to extort
money from the Katsina State Governor, Aminu Masari, when
the latter was the Speaker, House of Representatives.
The 25-year old explained that he defrauded his victims by
soliciting money on phone to cater to IDPs in the country.
The cleric’s son stated that he obtained a passport with the
name, Mathew Hassah Kukah Jehu, and also opened an
account with the GTB in the same name.
He said, “I called people on the telephone and told them I was
Bishop Kukah. I used his picture on my True Caller account, so
that when I called people, they would think he was the one
talking with them.
“I also obtained a passport in Bishop Kukah’s name which I
used to open an account with GTB. The money I realised was
paid into the account and I used an Automated Teller Machine
card to withdraw it.”
According to Punch, Kukah was alerted to the scam by some
people close to him.
The cleric was said to have petitioned the police, which asked
the bank to place a “no debit order” on the account.
Following his inability to withdraw from the account, Kwasu
was said to have visited the bank to complain, where he was
arrested.
Findings indicate that Kwasu had earlier been arrested and
remanded in prison for impersonating Bishop Steven Akobe of
the Anglican Diocese of Kabba, Kogi State, but was granted
bail.
The police said Kwasu had also attempted to extort money
from Senator David Mark, claiming to be Akobe.
“Mark said I should come for some money, so I sent my
girlfriend. But she was arrested and I was taken to court and
sentenced to two months imprisonment or N9,000 fine,” Kwasu
stated.
It was gathered that the suspect, who had two female siblings,
sold his deceased parents’ house in Kaduna for N10m and
lavished the money on girls and a profligate lifestyle.
The Federal Capital Territory Commissioner of Police,
Muhammad Mustafa, stated that Kwasu was arrested by the
men of his command, after Kukah complained about his
activities.
The CP said, “We received a petition from Bishop Kukah
alleging that the boy had been impersonating him and
extorting money from prominent people. So, my men went to
work and were able to track the suspect and arrest him. He is
a habitual criminal and I would like to advise the public
against responding to emails or phone calls from unknown
persons requesting financial support for one cause or the
other.”
Mustafa also called on the public to report every suspicious
phone call and email to the police for investigation.
