A 49-year-old self-acclaimed Evangelist, Mr Akinjide Durojaiye got more
than he bargained for as he was beaten for allegedly stealing two new
mobile phones from a shop he preached at in Ibadan, Oyo state capital.
The
Evangelist at Dominion Assembly in Ilare-Ijesa area of Osun state,
claimed the “spirit” directed him to preach to the people at a phone
shop in Femi Johnson Building located at Dugbe area of Ibadan.
He
however left the shop with two phones valued at N70,000, hid in a shop
within the complex when chased but eventually got busted by an attendant
at the shop. The phones were retrieved from him by the mob that
manhandled him. .
Confessing to the crime, Durojaiye blamed it
all on the devil as he disclosed that he stole to raise money to offset
the medical bill of his 7-year-old son who jumped down from a 2-storey
building. .
The father of four who was released after some
persons intervened, further revealed that his wife ‘abandoned’ the kids
with him after they got divorced.
