Nigerian Pastor allegedly charges his church members N310k to ‘fly them to heaven’

Senior Pastor of the Christ High Commission Ministry, also known as Royal Christ Assembly, Kaduna State, Pastor Ade Abraham has been accused of charging his church members N310, 000 to ‘fly them to heaven’.

Abraham is also said to have convinced his church members to relocate to a camp in Ekiti State with him in order to “prepare for the end of the world”.

According to FIJ, a church member said the clergyman first relocated to Ekiti State from Kaduna State in 2020 and upon returning to Kaduna State in April, he allegedly asked members of his church to pay him N310,000 before they would be allowed to follow him to Omuo-Ekiti, where “the gate of heaven will open for all of them to fly to heaven”.

Pastor Abraham allegedly assured his members that they would all ‘ascend to heaven together from the location in Ekiti’.

FIJ reported that a source said; “My relative has also asked her daughter, who is studying abroad, to return to Nigeria, or else the pastor (Abraham) would make her commit an offence over there that would see her go to jail.”

Screenshot of a WhatsApp chat captured what the pastor’s follower told her daughter about coming for the camp.

It read; “Daddy Abraham said I should tell you to come back, that he is the one who makes you to come down to Nigeria, and I was the one who gave you the chance to return back there, that I should also know how you will come back or he will make you to commit an offence over there and they will put you in prison. That he probably send you down so you will achieve your goals.

“Please Elizabeth, if there is how you will help yourself to come back, I will be glad. Don’t let daddy put any one of you in trouble.”

Another member of the church who is currently in camp in Ekiti said that Abraham’s campers still go about their normal businesses on regular days.

The follower also said “saved members” left their “past lives” behind in Kaduna to join the pastor in Ekiti on April 6. He confirmed that they would be at the camp with the pastor “until the day of rapture”.

The member said Pastor Abraham still holds regular church services on Sundays and Wednesdays.

The member added; “We are not coming back. I can’t explain in details.

“We are going to make rapture from here. We are going to a heavenly place.” he said.
