Christ Embassy Pastors Beat Member To Coma, Church Faces N1bn Lawsuit by juxtabayano(m): 7:41am On Nov 24, 2014
There is an ongoing ‘war’ between U-cheena,
Producer of Destiny Child Gospel Talent Hunt
and Chris Oyakhilome’s led Christ Embassy
Church as the former is pressing charges against
some Pastors as well as staff and security of the
Church for assaulting her and one of her staff, Mr Daniel. She had also briefed her team of lawyers who
are currently preparing to sue the Ministry in an
epoch making case in the history of Christianity
in Nigeria, thus demanding a whooping sum of
N1bn compensation from Christ Embassy for
assault, battery and breach of contract. Recall that the church has been triggering social
media attacks following the recent marital clash
between the founder, Chris Oyakhilome and his
wife, Anita, which led to the ministry pulling off
anything connected with Pastor Anita on both
the Ministry’s website and that of Pastor Chris due to some marital differences. It was gathered that problem ensued after U-
cheena rented out her LED screens to the
church for the ongoing IPPC program in Lagos. Findings revealed that U-cheena’sCompany
“Eventz.comLimited” rented out its LED screens
at a 90 percent discount to the church for a
barter arrangement and the Church to bare
logistics cost. Little did U-cheena know that her magnanimity
to forego millions of naira in return for the Love
World Studio which ordinary cost’s N1,000,000
will turn into a thing of reproach,
embarrassment and agonizing pain for her. In a clear case of paying good back with evil, U-
cheenagot more than she bargained for as she
was beaten blue back by some top pastors of
Christ Embassy Church ordained by Chris
Oyakhilome during a squabble that ensued for
daring to ask for her full payment before leaving Christ Embassy with her equipment. Speaking to journalists on Saturday afternoon at
the Alausa Police Station, a visibly battered U-
Cheena said she was still in shock that people
who claimed to be men of God could be so
heartless by assaulting a married woman. Explaining how it all started, U-cheena said, “We
gave out LED screen to the church for IPPC
programme at a 90 percent discount. However,
just two days into the programme, I received a
call from one of my staff Daniel, who informed
me that one of my LED screens got blown from a power surge. “When I heard it, I took the next available flight
from Abuja to Lagos on Thursday 20th
November 2014 to arrange another screen to
ensure that we kept to our side of the bargain.
Little did I know that my generosity would turn
out to be my biggest undoing.” According to her, “Upon arranging for another
LED screen for the Church, I informed those in
charge that I must get a full payment of the
agreed sum for logistics before I can power the
screen on for the programme. They appealed to
me to power it as payment will not be a problem. “When their insistence that I power the screen
did not yield any results, they called the Zonal
Pastor of my Church, Christ Embassy Abuja,
Pastor Chidi to prevail on me to go ahead and
power the screen. They went to the extent of
involving my Mum, Pastor Duchess, who is also a Pastor with the Church to prevail on me. “At this point, I conceded and powered the
screen on and was there to ensure that
everything went well until after the programme
which ended at about 5pm. “I was in shock when Pastor Dave approached
me and my staff and said ‘we are only going to
pay you for one day only. Go and tear down
your screen immediately and give me your
invoice.’ I said to him ‘but that is not fair.’ “He got enraged at this point, ordered me out
of the Church premises and walked towards his
office. I told him I was not leaving until I got my
full payment and followed him towards his
office as well. He banged the door of his office
right behind me. When I attempted to open the door to enter his office, one of the Pastors who
was listening to our conversation, Pastor Ayo,
pushed me from the door and I fell
thunderously to the ground. “My staff, Daniel confronted the Pastor and
asked him why he should push me that way
requesting to know if he wanted to kill me. At
this point, Pastor Dave ordered his colleague,
Pastor Ayo and the security men to throw us
out of the Church premises. “The Pastor pounced on Daniel, aided by some
other pastors and members of the Church who
came out in droves to beat him up. I received
my pound of beating when I attempted to
rescue Daniel, whom six ordained pastors of
Christ Embassy,Church staff and security held down and threatened to murder. At this point,
two security men were in possession of firearms
while one of the pastors continually poured a
white substance suspected to be a tranquilizer
on his face to subdue him. This they did with all
enthusiasm and recklessness.” Speaking further, the battered woman averred
that, while screaming for help in the middle of
an estimated 20-man mob squad of Pastor Chris
Oyakhilome’s church, a female member was also
beating her repeatedly. “My production manager, Ms Ayo and an Abuja
Church member, Sister Nonye, who recognised
me, helped to rescue me from the Christ
Embassy monster squad. In an attempt to record
the incident, one of them grabbed my phone
and smashed it to the ground beyond repair. “I headed for the Alausa Police station where I
made a formal complaint”, said U-cheena amid
sobs and tears. At the Alausa Police Station, she was
subsequently given a letter to go to the hospital
where she was treated. U-cheena added that the CSO to Pastor Chris
Oyakhilome, Deacon Ik came with Pastor Dave
to give his statement along with Pastor Ayo,
who assaulted her and her staff. They were eventually detained alongside some
of the pastors involved in the head-shaking
assault. U-cheena, who until the unfortunate incident
was a full time member of Christ Embassy vowed
to press charges until she got justice as well as
pursue the civil aspect of the matter before a
Court of competent jurisdiction. Already, she said she had briefed her lawyers to
commence the process of instituting legal
action against Christ Embassy and Pastor Dave. Speaking to our reporter on phone, Counsel to
U-cheena, described the actions of the Church
as an act of barbarism, cowardice, inhumane
and dehumanization of his client. He noted that U-cheena is a devoted Christian,
a married woman and the MD of Eventz.com
Limited.
He said he was shocked when he received a call
from his client saying she was physically
assaulted by Christ Embassy Pastors. He added that already the Commissioner of
Police of Lagos State had been informed and
that a thorough investigation was currently
ongoing to bring the perpetrators to justice. He adding that his chambers was already
preparing to file a civil suit against the Church
for assault and battery and breach of Contract. “We have taken the right step. The church is
being sued for N1bn damages,” the counsel
said. Efforts to obtain comment from the church
could not yield any result as their phones could
not be reached as at the time of this report.
