Some so called pastors are being made to pay for their evil acts after they were found out to have defrauded a woman.

They were, yesterday, docked before an Igbosere Magis-trate’s Court, Lagos.
According to Vanguard, the accused, whose addresses were not given, are facing trial on a three-count charge of conspiracy, obtaining by false pretence and stealing.
The prosecutor, Sergeant Kingsley Jackson, told the court that the accused conspired and committed the offences on July 19, at 2p.m., at Ikate in Lekki Phase 1, at Eti-Osa, Lagos.
