Bishop Ginika Obi, a notorious fraudster in Enugu, has been remanded in prison custody for various fee fraud crimes and conspiracy. He was remanded in prison on October 12, 2017 in Enugu on 82 count charges of conspiracy and advance fee fraud.

The Enugu state police PRO, Ebere Amaraizu, said the suspect, alongside others now at large, have been defrauding people through an alleged church opened for the crime in the area.

Bishop was said to have defrauded many unsuspecting victims of huge sums of money using his church located at KM 111 along Enugu / Port Harcourt express road.

Amaraizu, in his statement said, “The suspect, in collaboration with some others now at large, perpetrated the fraud against victims with a view to helping to reap financial harvest by victims to pay various sums of money through the church.

Obi was remanded as he was unable to meet the bail conditions of two sureties of a Director in Government Ministry and a traditional ruler from his community and the sum of N50 million if he jumps bail.”

His arraignment came as a result of discreet investigations carried out by the operatives of the commissioner of police Monitoring unit in Enugu, anchored on several petitions.

Since his arrest, victims in their number, have been coming forward with complaints/petitions bothering on what they said Bishop and his cohorts have done to them.
