Preacher Steals Car While Preaching Repentance To Residence In Lagos!

Hmmm....! Few days ago, a 35-year old 'gospel preacher', Lucky David, ran out of luck when he got arrested for stealing a Lexus SUV while preaching about repentance!

The fake preacher reportedly carried a Bible and bell while preaching to the residents of Idimu-Ejigbo road in Idimu, asking them to repent of their bad  ways. When he reportedly got to the residence of Mrs. Stella Ogunfeitimi who had prepared to go to work that morning and saw that she left her car key in the ignition and went upstairs to collect what she forgot, David sneaked into the
compound and drove the vehicle with registration number KRD 646 DD out of the compound.

When the victim got downstairs and discovered that her SUV had disappeared, she quickly contacted the police at Idimu Division, luckily for her, the police sprung into action and trailed David to Iyana Iba-LASU road where he got arrested.

After he was arrested and dealt with by the hands of the law, David confessed that he actually came from Benin, Edo State capital to Lagos to steal vehicles.He further confessed that he had no fixed address and he pretended to be preaching the gospel to deceive people in order accomplish his mission.

David however, told the presiding Magistrate, Mr Peter Nwaka, that he actually drove the vehicle out without the knowledge of the owner, but he did not steal it as claimed by the police. He pleaded not guilty to the charge.

The magistrate ordered that before David could be granted bail, his surety must go to the Chief Registrar’s office to facilitate the bail. The case has however been adjourned to 27th of May for further hearing.
