What a life! Female Pastor Arrested For Allegedly Stealing A Baby Boy

The police have arrested Pastor Esther Ozuem, General Overseer of Word Encounter Ministry over alleged child theft. She is being detained at the State CID at Panti, Yaba, Lagos.

Mrs Ozuem is said to have stolen the nine-month-old boy from a member of her church. It was gathered that went to Alakuko Police Station on March 18 to report a case of child abandonment in her church. But the story changed when police detectives later discovered that the pastor took the child from his mother, 24yrs old Christianah Ebele, the day she delivered. According to police, the pastor registered the child at the National Primary Health Care Development Agency (NPHCDA), where the baby was immunised as Temple Ozuem, with her mother’s name given as Chinyere Ozuem.

The female pastor is now also being investigated to ascertain the maternity of her three children. In her statement, Miss Ebele said she went to the pastor for financial assistance when she was pregnant and the “woman of God” agreed to help her. She said she was taken to Ozuem’s church by her elder sister who worships there, adding that her sister told the pastor that they were poor and could not take care of the baby.

The woman, who denied abandoning nor selling her baby to the pastor, said she was chased out of her house for attempting to feed the crying child. “My elder sister took me to her church where I met Pastor Esther. My sister told her that we are poor and we cannot take care of the pregnancy and that when the baby is born, life will be harder for us. “I was eight months pregnant and she agreed to help me. Pastor Esther took me in and she promised to help establish me financially after I give birth. She told me that she will give me money to start a business and cater for the child.

“However, after I gave birth, she changed towards me. The day I gave birth, it was raining heavily. She refused to take me to the hospital. She brought a nurse to deliver me of the baby. To my shock, Pastor Esther took the baby from me immediately I gave birth and warned me not to touch the child. “She also told me not to breastfeed the baby and when the baby was crying and I attempted to feed him, she got angry and chased me out of the house in the rain. I was crying but she did not allow me to carry my baby. I had to find my way to my sister’s house and I told her what happened.

“I did not go to the police station because I did not know what to do. Besides, I did not have money. I am very poor and can barely feed myself. “My mother is also poor and other members of my family are not doing fine financially. So, I decided to leave everything to God. I found out that Pastor Esther took my son and she had a child naming for him without informing me.

She named him Temple Ozuem and even took him to the health centre and registered him as her son. I don’t know why she came to report to the police but even now I can’t cater for him. “I need help and it is not true that I sold my baby. She did not give me any money. I only approached her for help,” she said. But Pastor Ozuem has insisted she did not steal the baby, claiming that the mother abandoned the child.

Hehe....see How People Beat NNPC Official To Coma At Mega Station In Osogbo

Countrywide fuel scaricity apparently drives people crazy, as a group of hoodlums attacked a sales representative of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) at the Mega station in Osogbo, Osun state. Mr Wale Olayinka was working, when gangsters broke into the station and pounced on him, repeatedly kicking and punching him in the face until he collapsed.

According to one of the witnesses, the incident took place at around 6.30pm on Friday, April 1. It was also comfirmed by the new commandant of the Nigerian security and civil defence corps in the state, Mr Olusola Ayodele. He said: “Some thugs came and beat the NNPC official up. It is wrong for anybody to take the laws into their own hands. No matter what happens, you don’t have any right to beat attendants or their bosses.”

The attackers are reportedly black marketers, who didn’t allow people buy fuel in order to resale the petrol at higher price. Besides, he promised that anyone attacking officials or attendants of filling stations would be found and punished accordint to the law. One of the abusers has been already arrested and taken to police station.

This 60-Year-Old Wheelbarrow Pusher Begins Secondary Education In Delta (Photo)

A 60-year-old man, Mr. Adalabu Seribor, who is a Junior Secondary School II (JSS II) student at Izon College, Bomadi-Overside in Bomadi Local Government Area of Delta State, is currently the talk of the town.

Seribor, a wheelbarrow pusher popularly called Oyibo in the community, disclosed how he took the decision to go to school at old age, a development that had kept many people wondering what he wanted to achieve in school at such an age. Speaking with Southern City News, Seribor said, “I am sixty years now and I decided to go to school at this age because I perpetually feel the pain of being an illiterate in this modern world where everything has to do with English and education.

“My mother died during child birth when I was a little boy while my father was a hunter. I was bred by a grandmother after the death of my mother and later taken to a step-mother when my father remarried. “I went through pains and hardship at my tender age to adulthood. It would interest you to know that I was so tender at the time my mother died that I was crying for food while she lay dead. “I went through struggles all through my life history. I had the opportunity to go to school at my young age, when a relative who was a magistrate at Ekeremor in Bayelsa State took me to his house.

“But because of early morning beatings due to my failure to greet him when rising from bed, I went back to my father. I had no opportunity to go to school since then, and continued in hard labour to survive in life, which I am still doing.” Narrating further how he took the decision to attend school at his current age, he said, “I realized that without education, one cannot do well in this present society.

I also do not want a situation whereby someone else would interpret or write for me if eventually I am chosen to hold an office in my community. “I make a living by pushing wheelbarrow. After school hours, I go back home to look for work to do, which I have been doing for a living. I pay my school fees from there. I am determined to complete my education because of the pains in my heart.

“I see that one cannot do well without education in this society. I do various menial jobs for a living. I pack dirt from gutters; I pack sand, clear grasses in people’s compounds and pack soak-away faeces in the dead of the night. I am a JSS II student and by the grace of God, I will finish from this school.” Seribor said he would proceed to Teachers’ Training College at the end of his secondary education in order to achieve his dream of becoming a teacher.

“I want to teach and I advised young boys and girls wasting their time and years roaming the streets to go to school. If I can go to school, then why are young people wasting themselves,” he queried. His class teacher, Mr. Edsemi Anesah, described Seribor as a committed and hardworking student. “My encouragement to him is that he should hold onto his determination. He is the oldest student in the school and I advise young people out there to emulate him,” Anesah added.
