Man of God or Fraudster. It’s getting harder to tell the difference. Imagine handing over your hard-earned $3,000, believing you’re on your way to Canada, only to find out you’ve been scammed!

This is exactly what happened to a group of nine individuals who fell prey to a so-called “travel program” run by Pastor Ben of Triumphant Evangelical Fire Ministries, located in Chicken Soup Factory. The scam promised a seamless journey to Canada, and many trusted it, not just because of the pastor’s reputation but because of the convincing details surrounding the operation.

A five-year-old boy, just a child, full of innocence and life, became the victim of a horrifying crime allegedly committed by a senior student of the Albert Daniel Peabody School in Lower Margibi, Marshall City. This senior student, instead of being a role model, reportedly took advantage of the little boy while he was on his way to school, leaving him bleeding and abandoned in the bush.
