A prophet at Kingdom Empowerment Church of Christ allegedly stole a laptop and cellphone worth $820 given to him for safekeeping, after he prophesied that the gadgets would be lost to thieves.
Donald Garwe (23) of Unit G Extension in Chitungwiza reportedly told the victim, Martin Nduwiva (18), of 23 Mutley Band, Belvedere in Harare of his date of birth, making him believe in the him.
On December 1 last year, Garwe visited Nduwiva at his house where he prophesied that his HP laptop and a Huawei cellphone were going to be stolen,which were then handed to him for safe keeping.
Nduwiva approached Garwe on December 30 with the intention of collecting his gadgets, but was surprised to hear his spiritual father claiming to have sold the laptop, but promised to replace it.
He was handed the cellphone.
Nduwiva made further inquiries from Garwe on several occasions about the laptop replacement, but was told that he should hand over the cellphone since it was still at risk of being stolen again.
Garwe denied the charges and was remanded to today on $50 bail.
