Woman pastor charged with 419

A lady pastor of a born-again church in Yaounde is presently languishing at the Kondengui prison here after she was charged with crockery and abuse of confidence.

                Pastor AndelaAnastasieZogo was brought before the judge of the court of First Instance in Ekounou, Yaounde to defend herself on allegations of defrauding another woman of her Njangi money.

                Pastor Zogo who is also a trader at one of the markets in Yaounde had created a Njangi which she convinced other women to be members.

                But when it was time for one of the women to benefit the njangi, Pastor Zogo told her that her money was not ready because most of the other members had since stopped contributing.       

                The lady in question cried scandal, saying the Pastor had defrauded her of her money.

She said she had contributed money regularly amounting to 1.250.000 fcfa through a weekly contribution of 5000 for each of her two names in the Njangi.

                The lady whose name we could not immediately get, said she had confidence in Mrs. AndelaZogo because she was a Pastor and that Pastor Zogo had never told her that the other women had stopped contributing to the Njanji.

                After listening to both parties, the judge adjourned the matter to 8 September to enable for all documented evidence to be put together.

                Meanwhile, Pastor Zogo will remain in prison custody until she is proven not guilty.
