When Imane Adijat (pseudonym) contacted Pastor Godswill Oyor, the founder of Zedekiah Money Train, on June 6, 2022 about hus investment scheme, he boasted that he would return a 21 per cent interest within 90 days to his investors. This is August 2024, and she’s neither received the promised interest nor her N1 million capital.

Adijat told FIJ that she was shocked that Pastor Oyor left his investors in limbo for a long time before showing signs that he had moved on, despite assuring them after he failed to pay that investors would get their money back.

She said she discovered Zedekiah Money Train after an acquaintance would not stop telling her about it. On June 6 2022, she contacted Pastor Oyor to learn more about the investment scheme.

She said the pastor sent her a Zoom link to a recorded video conference in which he explained what the investment was about. Afterwards, he sent her a message containing the company’s account number where she paid N500,000.

Adijat said that she paid another N500,000 in July 2022 to Pastor Oyor after he informed her about another package she could invest in, called ‘Autocruise’.

“Before I invested, he told me that the lowest amount I could invest with was N1 million, but I had to plead with him to let me join the cohort of investors because I could not afford a million naira at the time,” she said.
