    CAC Pastor re-arraigned over alleged impersonation, forgery

    A pastor with the Christ Apostolic Church (CAC), Moses Ayantoye, was on Wednesday re-arraigned before an Oyo State High Court in Ibadan over allegations of impersonation, forgery and defamation.

    Ayantoye was initially arraigned on Feb. 8, 2022 on a 23-count charge bordering on forgery and impersonation among others.

    At Wednesday’s proceeding, the prosecuting counsel, Michael Lana, said the case was slated for the reading of the 31-count amended charges against the defendant.

    Lana alleged that the defendant forged the letterhead of CAC to write a letter he later forwarded to the Assistant Inspector General of Police (AIG) Zone 11, Osogbo.

    Lana said false statements were made in the letter against pastors and the solicitor of the church including officers of the Corporate Affairs Commission to get them falsely prosecuted for criminal offences.

    The prosecutor said the defendant, with intent to defraud, also came up with documents of the church without any authority and wrote a letter to the Legal Practitioners and Privileges Committee.

    The defendant, according to Lana, provided false information to the Chairman, Legal Practitioners and Privileges Committee, to deprive an applicant seeking the rank of the Senior Advocate of Nigeria.

    The prosecutor further alleged that the defendant published a defamatory matter against the President and other Trustees of Christ Apostolic Church, Nigeria in the national dailies of Oct. 18, 2021.

    He said the offences contravened Sections 117, 125A, 373, 375, 484, 473, 463, and 465 of the Criminal Code Cap 38 Laws of Oyo State, 2000.

    The defendant, however, pleaded not guilty to the charges.

    The defence counsel, Mr Anthony Daramola, urged the court to allow his client to continue with the previous bail of N2 million with two sureties in like sum.

    Daramola, arguing that his client had never violated any of the bail conditions, said the two sureties were in court and ready to continue as his sureties.

    The prosecuting counsel, however, did not oppose the bail application.

    Justice Rachael Akintola ruled that the defendant should continue to enjoy the bail as earlier given and adjourned the case till May 16 for hearing.

  • Prophet reveals kings, important men of God will die this year

    Prophet reveals kings, important men of God will die this year

    Prophet Peter Williams, Founder of Christ Apostolic Church (CAC), Faith Chapel in Ilorin has revealed that some important kings and men of God will die this year.

    TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports Prophet Williams, therefore, advised that they should prepare their will, stressing that nothing can stop their passage.

    Williams, who made the disclosure while speaking on his prophecy for the New Year, also revealed that God will open up some hidden sources of blessing for Nigeria in 2023.

    He said that power-drunk nations and individuals would fail this year, adding that a lot of covered secrets will be exposed by God.

    According to him, this is applicable to men of God, politicians and the elites.

    “God said some important kings and men of God should prepare their will because nothing can stop their passage this year.

    “There will be enthronement and dethronement in high places both spiritual and physical; there are some power-drunk nations and individuals whose power will fail them this year.

    “The Lord says this year will be the year of the Lord. That the worship of the Lord will be paramount to the children of God.

    “God said he is going to raise Generals in His vineyard and this time around young men.

    “God said He will pass through the globe this year and there will be noise and global confusion,” he said.

    The cleric said that a popular king would declare for Jesus this year, which would cause an uproar, but the celebration that would trail the declaration would douse the noise.

    He said that there would be some life-threatening occurrences, but God said: “I will intervene in some hopeless cases and situations.”

    “There will be a shaking in the Nigerian military that will be likened to a mutiny but is not a full fledge mutiny nor a coup,” he said.

    The cleric, who said that he did not receive the prophecy in a day, however, explained that prophecy could be changed when a prayer weapon is applied.

    “Good prophecies can be hindered when prayer is not put in place and caution is thrown to the wind.

    “This year, I urge us all to engage our prayer lives like never before. It is only our righteous prayers that will make God’s promises come to pass in our lives,” Williams said.
