Lagos Police Burst Fake Miracle Syndicate

The Lagos State Police Command has apprehended six members of a syndicate specialized in scamming people through fake miracles.

The suspects all females are organized by a fake pastor, David Elijah, now on the run who used the ladies as a bait for unwary members of the public.
