Benson Nosakhare: Popular Edo prophet arrested over fake prophecy

Benson Nosakhare, a self-acclaimed prophet has been arrested for allegedly defrauding members of the public with fake prophecies.

Nosakhare was nabbed by the Edo State Police Command.

Nosakhare was arrested after one of his victims, Mr. Osamudiamen Thompson, petitioned the Commissioner of Police, Edo State, alleging that he was hypnotized and his car was collected by the suspect.
Thompson, who claimed he was hypnotized, said he gifted the ‘prophet’ his car after he told him he saw him in a vision where he had an accident with his Lexus ES 350 car.

The victim further claimed that after he came back to his senses, he noticed that the prophet had already changed the color of the car from gold to black and was already using it.

A statement released by Edo police spokesperson, SP Bello Kontongs, confirming the arrest, reads,
