Man Gives Car To Church As Seed, Wants It Back After 8 Months

CYRIACUS IZUEKWE

A man, Mr. Sunny Awale who gave his Toyota Camry car worth N2.5m to a church in Lagos as seed for prayers to travel abroad, has now demanded the car back eight months after claiming that the prayers did not work as promised.

P.M.EXPRESS reports that the incident happened at one of the modern churches (name withheld) located at the Governor’s Road, Ikotun area of Lagos.

The prophecy for the car to be given as seed offering was given by one Pastor Promise Sylvanus who is now at large.

According to Mr. Awale, he had planned to travel abroad for greener pasture and went to the church to seek for spiritual help. He said it was at the service that one Pastor Sylvanus who was a guest pastor gave him the prophecy that God told him that he should sow a seed with his car to the church and all his desires will be achieved.

He said he believed and gave out the car as seed to the church. He said he was assured that he would get visa to travel to USA as he had obeyed the command from God as he had applied for the visa. He said that he surrendered his car with registration number, EPE 943 EC, the documents and prepared the deed of transfer of ownership to the church. Pastor Sylvanus and the beneficial church Pastor then embarked on ‘spiritual deliverance’ to remove any hindrance that will prevent him from not getting the visa.

The victim claimed that he was stripped naked, anointed with oil, he also drank the oil and after those things he went to the embassy. He was denied visa at the embassy. He said that apart from the Toyota Camry car that he gave out almost half of his money to the church without knowing what he was doing.

Mr. Awale said that he later realized that he was hypnotized to do those things, so he went to the police and reported what had happened to him. The police moved into action, arrested the owner of the church identified as Pastor Okoli and detained at the Command at Ikeja.

P.M.EXPRESS gathered that the police ordered Pastor Okoli to return the car to Mr. Awale as Pastor Sylvanus who gave the prophecy had confessed to Awale that the prophecy for him to sow seed with the car did not come from God.

P.M.EXPRESS gathered that Okoli had already sold the car and used the money to develop the church. It was then a bit difficult how to resolve the matter. Awale has insisted on having his car back and Pastor Okoli who had sold the car seemed not to have any money to cough out for another car.
