The founder and leader of the International Godsway Church, Bishop Daniel Obinim, has taken to social media to lament being defrauded by unknown individuals.
According to the preacher, hackers have taken control of most of his social media platforms and are using them to solicit funds from his followers.
He revealed that these fraudsters have made huge sums of money by impersonating him.
Obinim expressed concern, stating that he is now facing pressure from some of his followers, many of whom are believed to be church members, who think he was responsible for the transactions.
“Share this video for me because someone has seriously defrauded me. Someone has been using my name, Bishop Obinim, to take money from people.
“So, to everyone listening to me, if someone is chatting with you on Facebook or any of my social media accounts, it is not me. The person even uses AI to make video calls and puts out phone numbers to deceive people and take a lot of money from them,” he warned.
He cautioned the public that he does not engage with anyone on social media and urged people to refrain from messaging or chatting with accounts bearing his name.
“Since I established my church, I have never taken money from anyone on Facebook or social media. So please, do not engage with these scammers. Report anyone who asks you for money on social media to the police.”
