DOUALA, SUPPOSED MAN OF GOD VANISHES WITH FCFA 18.7 MILLION
ON SUNDAY JULY 4, A SUPPOSED MAN OF GOD OF THE CHAPELLE DES LEADERS IN BANGUE VILLAGE IN DOUALA, LITTORAL REGION, S.D NKOONA, IS ACTIVELY WANTED BY SECURITY FORCES AND THE CHURCH CONGREGATION AFTER HE DISAPPEARED WITH CHURCH MONEY AMOUNTING TO FCFA 18.7MILLION.
According to reliable sources, the said sum of money to construct a new chapel was launched last year in the month of April which lasted a period of 15months. As averred by some members of the said church, he was referred to as “servant of God” but to their greatest dismay, he vanished with the money after the Pastor sent him to keep it in his car.
However, the money was collected at the end of every gathering and was deposited at a micro-finance bank in the area. Two weeks to the day he disappeared with the huge sum of money, the church decided to launch construction works. Unfortunately, on Sunday July 4, FCFA 17.7million was presented to the Christians of the church as what had been collected so far. Same day while in church, FCFA 1million was contributed by the Christians and added to the initial amount, making a total of FCFA 18.7million.
The Pastor, while discussing with some members of the church, further gave the bag of money to Nkoona who accepted to give a helping hand to put the money in the Pastor’s car that was parked opposite the church building. After a short period of time, they realized that Nkoona was nowhere to be found neither was the money he was given.
The servant of God is actively wanted as an investigation is ongoing at the Littoral Gendarmerie Legion.
As it is the case, considering a lot of reports going on about several men who claim to be men of God, it is really a cause for concern. There are presently countless mushroom churches and one is tempted to address Christians and churches with many different names, either in large buildings, small or lofty opened air theaters, called churches, practicing different from each other. Several types and names of church in a locality of not more than 100 inhabitants and as the names differ, so too are the symbols that differentiate them from others. Whether it is an aberration or a fact, the number of churches in Cameroon is becoming a cause for concern. The world over seems to portray a different notion of Christianity. How can a servant of God, respected by many, make away with money contributed for the growth of the church? A question asked by many.
For the Bible says; “for many will come in my name, saying; ‘I am the Christ’, and they will lead many astray.” Indeed individuals should be guided not to fall prey for ignorance they say is a sin.
