Fake Pastors, Imams Dupe Blind Former Super Eagles Star .

Former Super Eagles winger Femi Opabunmi has revealed to Completesports, how he was swindled by some pastors in the South West part of Nigeria in a bid for him to regain his sight.
.
.
Opabunmi recounted his ordeal in a chat with Completesportsnigeria.com that he suddenly lost his sight during training with his French second division side Niort in 2006.
.
.
And after two unsuccessful surgery in France, Opabunmi returned to Nigeria in search of a cure for his partial blindness but according to him he was duped.
.
.
"Many believed I was cursed, even my mother because in Paris the doctors medically said there was nothing wrong with my eyes," Opabunmi, one of the best players at the 2001 FIFA U-17 World Cup where he helped Nigeria reach the final, told Completesports.
.
.
"Funds were given to me to survive by my former teammates (including Osaze Odemwingie) and well wishers. I gave pastors some of the money, hoping that if I got healed I would start afresh with a coaching career. I visited several churches and mountains in search of a cure but it never happened.
.
.
They duped me of my small cash. I paid more that 400k to pastors to see that I got cured but nothing happened. I also went to see some Imams as well. But they all turned out to be false men of God who duped me all the way."
