By Michael Ekokoruwe

An imposter who claimed to be Ernest Erowo with a facebook account opened in the name of Prophet Ernest Erowo Untouchable  of City of Faith Ministries Int'l Inc., also known as The Untouchable Family, aimed at defrauding the unsuspecting members of the public, has been arrested at Ozoro in Isoko North Local Government Area of Delta State.

The internet fraudster, who opened an account with First Bank PLC in the name of Abada E. Best with account No. 3043867593, was linked to his facebook account in the name of Ernest Erowo, asking the public to pay money into his account with intent of providing spiritual providence, thereby defrauding unsuspecting members of the public.

The suspect, while confessing to the crime at the Area Commander's office of the Nigerian Police Force, Delta Central Command Ughelli, said he is a pastor and intentionally opened the facebook and First Bank accounts to source for money to finance a programme he planned to execute. Meanwhile, a huge and undisclosed amount of money has been paid to him by the unsuspecting members of the public.

Earlier, Prophet Ernest Erowo Untouchable through A.E. Erakpofuke Esq. (Barrister and Solicitor), has appealed to the Area Commander of the Nigerian Police Force, Delta Central Command Ughelli, in a letter dated  16th January 2017, to arrest and question the said imposter using the duplicate facebook account Ernest Erowo, to prevent him from carring out further acts of fraud and impersonation.

The Media Publicity Director to Prophet Ernest Erowo Untouchable, Pastor Success I. E. Udogidi, also the Regional Head Pastor (South South region) City of Faith Ministry Int’l Inc. Ozoro, Delta State, confirmed the arrest. He said the imposter had hacked into the facebook account name "Ernest Erowo" which is the facebook account name of Prophet Ernest Erowo Untouchable and duplicated it with a changed picture. This fake duplicate account is what he used in defrauding the unsuspecting members of the public. Pastor Success I.E Udogidi  urged members of the public to be vigilant and watchful as internet fraudsters are everywhere.

As at the time of filing this report, the imposter Abada E. Best with fake duplicate facebook name Ernest Erowo is still being detained at the Area Command of the Nigerian Police Force, Central Command Ughelli for further investigation.
