Namibian 'pastor' tricks woman into selling house in exchange for prayers

A Windhoek mother has found herself without a home after a "pastor" convinced her to sell her house for prayers.

According to The Namibian, the 50-year-old single mother of four has opened up a case of theft against Agustinus Shinima, a false prophet who tricked her into selling her house and donating the proceeds to him.

While relating her story, the victim claimed that Shinima told her that her house was possessed by demons and that something bad would happen to her if she did not sell the property off immediately.

After selling her house for N$1.4m, the woman is said to have withdrawn N$980 000 to give to the alleged holy man, who then only gave her N$15 000 to cover her expenses going forward.
