Drama ensued at the Ejigbo Magistrate court in Lagos State today when a self-professed prophet, Destiny Onwudinjo, who is on trial for assault and obtaining money under false pretense suddenly jumped from the dock and ran out of the court today April 28th.
According to PM News, Prophet Onwudinjo was arrested by the police at Shasha Division for brutalizing a commercial motorcycle rider, Chika Izuogu pictured above for refusing to pay him N120,000 for deliverance prayer.
While testifying in court, Chika, the motorcycle driver, said Destiny met him along Olukosi Street, Shasha, Lagos and told him that he had a revelation from God and that he needed to embark on seven days deliverance prayer so that his condition would improve for the better. Prophet Destiny explained to him that the money he asked him to pay covered the fasting and other spiritual materials he would use for the deliverance. He told him that he will receive a divine blessing from God as an unknown person will give him N3 million he would use to start a new life and become rich. Chika however told Prophet Destiny that he will conduct the prayers himself as he does not have any money to give him. This angered Prophet Destiny who immediately started beating him up. Prophet Destiny was arrested and charged to court with an attempt to obtain money under false pretence and assault.
During court proceedings today, he jumped out of the dock and started running. He was later apprehended.
