According to the state Commissioner of Police, CP, Taiwo Lakanu, Okorie, founder of Watered Ground Ministries deceived, robbed and attempted to murder a member of the church, Mrs. Chioma Oleka, 35, at Atta in Ihennasa, Njaba Local Government Area, LGA of the state, by falsely claiming that she was possessed with a marine spirit.
Speaking with the Sun at the weekend, the CP disclosed how Okorie lured Oleka to Nwangele River where she was to allegedly undergo special deliverance prayer.
The CP noted that the lady drove her Lexus SUV with a Rivers State registration number, KPR 243HF to keep the appointment for prayers and deliverance.
The victim, recalling her ordeal with the ‘fake’ pastor, said “Before this thing happened I had been attending Watered Ground Ministry, the church headed by Pastor Okorie.
“He always prophesied in the church and one day he said that I had a mermaid (marine or mammywater) spirit. He said I had to go for special deliverance prayer not knowing that he wanted to rob and murder me.
“During the prayer session, he suddenly pushed me from the top of the bridge into the river. He gave me machete cuts thinking that I would die. But a police patrol team rescued me, took me to the hospital.
