Police in Ogun State arrest a man identified as Kehinde Makinde, also known as “Pastor Kenny,” over an alleged fraud involving a fake government-sponsored Jerusalem pilgrimage. Authorities say he obtained ₦2.5 million from 18 fellowship members by claiming the trip was official.
The reports describe the case as a scam carried out through false pretences linked to the purported pilgrimage. The Daily Post Nigeria and The Punch both identify the suspect, reference the same alleged amount and number of victims, and attribute the arrest to Ogun State Police detectives working from the Obantoko Division.
While both outlets focus on the same core allegations—collecting money from members for a Jerusalem trip they were told was sponsored by government—neither report in the provided excerpts details the suspect’s defence, the investigative next steps, or any court proceedings. The matter is presented as an ongoing police case.
