NIGERIAN PRESS COUNCIL SEEKS INVOLVEMENT IN EFCC’S ANTI-CORRUPTION FIGHT.(PHOTOS). #PRESS RELEASE
"One of my church members told me to bring my passport one time that he wanted to help get a visa. A whole me, pastor, he deceived and scammed me.
At that time, it was Dubai. He told me it was only my own he could do and that he couldn’t afford to do it for mummy, and I said no problem.
He said he just wanted me to go there and spend three days so I could relax and enjoy myself. I was extremely happy.
He requested for my passport, which I gave it to him, so I asked him when I would be departing. He said I would leave on Monday and get there on Tuesday.
I called my brother and told him I’ll be flying tonight and he would be driving me to the airport. I said we would be leaving by 6 p.m. because my flight was for 3 a.m., so we could get there on time.
We got to the airport, and I didn’t see him. I kept calling him till dawn, but he didn’t pick up. At some point, his number stopped going through.
The fact that I didn’t travel was not even the issue, if not for the stress I went through in getting another passport.
The passport was not misplaced. He purposely kept it in his possession. I didn’t travel anywhere. He deceived me, and he was a church member.
It was after six or seven years that I saw him again crossing the road. Because I was inside the car, I couldn’t park at that roundabout. I just pointed my hand at him and said, “It will never be well with you.
Church he stopped coming, my passport he seized it…”
