One of the officer checked the papers and acknowledged the papers were up to date. The officer said to himself ''nothing to nail this stubborn man on. He asked the Pastor to open the bonnet of his Car, The Pastor quietly followed the instruction and opened the Car bonnet(pastor understood the game the officers where trying to play but he was not ready to play along)
The police officer carefully scrutinised the V.I.N number of the engine against what was on the document, he noticed that the letter U on the engine was written in such a way that it could be mistaken for V in the document, that was all the officer needed to shout ''stolen Vehicle''!
Pastor was troubled, even when he knew he committed no offence, he told the OC that he is a Pastor and bought the car Brand new, OC replied ''please please leave this pastor thing...bla bla.. in fact and at any case, if you are indeed a Pastor, then you must have a Bible in your car, bring the Bible.
The Pastor did as he was commanded, he brought the Bible out of the car, Immediately OC ordered him to read Matthew 5:25-26 to him.
The incredulous Pastor opened the passage and read:
''Settle matters quickly with your adversary who is taking you to court. Do it while you are still with him on the way, he may hand you over to a Judge, and the Judge may hand you over to the officer, and may be thrown into Prison. I tell you the truth; you will not get out until you have paid the last penny.'' Matthew 5:25-26
The Man of God quietly made an ''offering'' of 100 Naira to his newly found ''Preacher''. End of Service! Go in peace said the police officer.
Have a nice day!
