Fake Pastor, Missing Baby, and a Sermon Nobody Asked For: Minna’s Most Unholy Miracle Unravels

Fake Pastor Saga; Residents of Minna, Niger State, were left stunned this week after police uncovered what may go down as one of the most bizarre cases of deception in recent memory. According to information released by the Niger State Police Command, a man allegedly posing as a pastor, alongside an alleged accomplice, was arrested in connection with the abduction of a four-week-old baby. The incident reportedly occurred around the Mobil Roundabout area, where the infant was allegedly taken from its mother through deception rather than force.

While genuine religious leaders spent the week preaching faith, hope, and charity, investigators say one suspect allegedly decided to preach a different gospel entirely—the gospel of confusion. The case has sparked concern among residents, who are demanding greater vigilance as authorities continue their investigation into the circumstances surrounding the child’s disappearance and recovery.

Police Arrest Fake Pastor Over Alleged Baby Abduction in Minna

According to police reports, a complaint was lodged at the ‘A’ Division in Minna on July 14 after a four-week-old baby was allegedly taken from its mother by individuals who reportedly gained her trust through deceptive means. Authorities say swift investigations eventually led to the arrest of a suspect described as a fake pastor and another alleged accomplice.

In true satirical fashion, residents joked that the suspect may have misunderstood the meaning of “gathering a congregation.” Instead of inviting worshippers to a place of prayer, investigators allege he embarked on a mission that has now landed him in police custody. Behind the humor, however, lies a serious reminder of how criminals often exploit trust, familiarity, and public goodwill to carry out unlawful acts.
