Pastor Wisdom Madukwe took his car to Idumagu for
repairs, only for the latter to plant the illegal substance in his car.
The pastor said that he would have been arrested and
charged, if not for a startling revelation from God.
Although the mechanic has been arrested by
operatives of the NDLEA, his reason for attempting to get Madukwe into trouble,
who incidentally happened to be his benefactor, is yet unknown.
The NDLEA Commander, Abia State, Mr Bamidele
Akingbade, said Idumagu was in custody.
Madukwe, who attributed the discovery of the
substance to divine intervention, said the big was to discredit him and his
church.
He added: “My
car had a fault, so I called my mechanic to come and pick it. He came on
Saturday. Rather than return the car that same day, he said he would return it on
Monday. I asked him why, he said he was already committed to another job. He
brought the car on Monday.
“On that Saturday night, after I went to bed, I had
a dream; I was driving the car. Policemen on ‘Stop and Search,’ flagged me
down. They searched my car and brought out parcels, which I knew nothing about.
The policemen handcuffed and started
beating me. I was crying in that revelation; I screamed in pains, shouting that
I was innocent. Then I woke up. I narrated the dream to my wife. We prayed; I
asked God to give me the details of that revelation and God answered. God said,
my son, before you step out that Monday, I should search my car.
“When I wanted to go to work, I almost forgot, but
by God’s grace I searched and touched a waterproof under my sit. I brought it
out, open the first, second and third parcels. I behold marijuana. I knew it was my mechanic. Instantly, I
called and asked him what if I had offended him in any way? When he was about
to get married, I supported him. When his wife had a baby, I supported
him. I asked him why he wanted to
destroy my ministry by placing illicit drugs in my car. He replied that he would come to my office to
see me.”
Madukwe said
that around 8:45am, as he was about to head to office, his spirit told him to take
out the cannabis. He took the parcels and hid them somewhere outside his house.
He entered his car and made a beeline to his office. He got to a junction and
was flagged down by policemen.
The pastor said: “The junction was not too far from
my house. The policemen were rude and hostile. I asked why they stopped me in
such a rude manner, and why a ‘Stop and Search’ post near residential area. One
of the policemen said to me, ‘you’re running your mouth; soon you’ll cry and
beg us.’ The first place they searched was exactly the area my mechanic planted
the drugs. They found nothing. I moved three meters from the vehicle, but
monitored their every move.”
After
searching and looking confused, the policemen asked him to go. Madukwe said
that he wanted to get their names, but it was a futile effort because they were
in mufti.
He recounted: “One of them told me that they would
get me. I drove to my pastor and narrated everything to him. If they had found
those drugs, nobody would have believed that I knew nothing about it. People
will begin to say all sorts of things against me, church and God. God vindicated
me.”
The NDLEA boss disclosed: “The suspect confessed to
have planted the illegal substance in the pastor’s car after he was approached
by a man, who is now at large.”
