Investigation carried out against them when one Mr Chukwudi Godwin
Odionye popularly referred to as 'Bishop' submitted a petition against
the four on 2nd day of May 2018.
The petitioner in his petition stated that on the 4th of June 2017,
he was in his house around Alagbado Lagos when the four armed men
stormed his house to effect his arrest on the allegation of performing
'FAKE' miracles. He stated that after his arrest, he was taken to one
hotel at Agege where he was detained and threatened to be killed if he
fails to cooperate. He explained further that on the following day 5th

million Naira to one of the operative's account.
On the receipt of the petition the AIG ordered Investigation into the case.
