Business people easily trust others who are members of their Church, Mosque or social club and love to transact business with them. But as a Nigerian, never put your money into any business without thoroughly investigation and verifying the claims of your business partner.
Two year ago in a city in Nigeria, a certain Pastor who had a call to prison ministry, went a certain prison regularly, to witness to inmates of the inmates called Lawal, had been jail for armed robbery. As the Pastor continued to visit the person, Lawal came for an alter call and gave his life to Christ. The Pastor was very happy, since Lawal was originally a Muslim. It never crossed his kind Christian mind that Lawal was a pretender, an imposter.
Shortly after that, Lawal was released from prison after he had completed his sentence.
Filled with with joy, Pastor drove his car to agodi prison and picked Lawal. Lawal explained to Pastor that he had no place to go. That now he had become a Christian his family would kill him if he went to them. Pastor said, "No problem". And took Lawal to his own home, and gave him a room to live.
Pastor had just newly married and had a whole three bedroom flat to himself and his wife.
Lawal ate with the family , drank with the family , attended church programme and gave testimony of his conversions to the amazement and administration of fellow Christians.
Pastor gave Lawal the position of Personal Assistant and paid him accordingly. Lawal had become one with the family and knew the in and out of Pastor' s life.
Nine months later, Pastor's brother-in-law arrived from the United State on a visit.
He was on annual leave and had come to purchase a piece of land and build a House, so he came reasonable amount of money.
Pastor made contact with the estate agents, located a piece of land and they agreed on the price.
Pastor then went with his brother in law and lawal to change dollars to pay the land and start contradiction on the site. Lawal would supervise the construction work.
At Sabo, they collected cash of about N59 millon. This was on Friday evening. Payment would be made on Saturday morning.
Friday night was night vigil in the church, and Lawal was firt to leave home to church to see that all was in order before the arrival of the pastor.
Later in the evening,Pastor and his brother in law joined Lawal and others members at the church. Pastor 's wife was now heavy with pregnancy and could not attend. About 11 p.m the night vigil started , dancing and clapping, Lawal sneaked out of the church and went back home.
He enter into the house and explained to the pastor's wife that Pastor had forgotten something at home. She open the door and Lawal enter into pastor room, killed the pregnant woman , stole the money and disappeared.
That pastor was gentle, but not wise. He should not have brought an ex armed robber into his house for whatever reason under heaven.
