“When it became clear it was fraud, I went to Prophet Smile Eboh’s house to demand for the refund of the money but was shocked in disbelief that he had packed out of his house to an unknown place”
“He now resorted to threatening my life when I told him to refund the money he fraudulently collected from me under the guise of stopping the series of miscarriage”, she stated.
Mrs Akari further alleged that the Prophet has vowed to deal with her if she continued to request for the refund of the money and appealed to the Commissioner of Police and the public to come to her rescue.
