A man described as a popular Togolese Pastor wanted by the International Police Organisation (Interpol) for a four million CFA Franc fraud has been arrested while conducting a healing session at Dzodze Deeper Life Church. Pastor Kouami Hounssey, 55, said to have been on the run for three years, was arrested while leading a prayer session arranged by the Police at the Church last Wednesday. The Police had been on the trail of the man for sometime without success so they got someone to feign sickness and was rushed to the Church. It was when Hounssey came out from his hideout to heal the sick person that he was arrested. A source close to the Dzodze Police told GNA that Hounssey allegedly used fake land documents to convince Madam Sena Adzovi Agboga, a Trader, to pay him about four million CFA Francs for plots of land at Sagbado, near Lome, in 2006. The source said the Suspect escaped to Dzodze in the Ketu North District, where he joined the Deeper Life Church as an assistant to the Head Pastor and was identified by a member of the Lome branch of the Church, who visited Dzodze. Mr Andrews Avorgbedor, Chief Inspector of Police in charge of Dzodze, confirmed Hounssey's arrest.
