There was a mild drama in Opolo, Yenagoa Local Government Area of Bayelsa State, After Some Members of ‘God is Able Mega Fire Ministry allegedly beat up some journalists for allegedly attempting to take snapshots of their General Overseer, Apostle Kingsley Abiekunogho, at Magistrate’s Court 3, Yenagoa.

The Self-acclaimed pastor is standing trial for allegedly obtaining a Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV) from his member, Seiyefa Sayou, by trick. The Magistrate, Mrs. Eke Spiff, ordered all journalists to leave the courtroom. A few minutes later, a policewoman walked up to the journalists within the court premises and said:



“I was asked to advise you all to leave the court by one of the church members or there would be bloodshed.”

Journalists quickly called the state Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), who ordered that a police van should be on standby.



At the end of the proceeding, which lasted up to two hours, the pastor, who allegedly directed his members to shield him up from prying eyes of journalists as he walked out of the courtroom, became visibly angry when he realised some journalists still managed to get his snapshots.

Noticing that their GO was not comfortable with the manner journalists managed to get snapshots of him, his members descended on some of the journalists.

A reporter with Silverbird Television received hot slaps, while the camera battery of a TV Continental reporter was damaged. While the drama was going on, the pastor was whisked away in a car. It took the intervention of some policemen to finally bring the situation under control.



The case was adjourned till March 24, for further hearing. Abiekunogho was alleged to have fraudulently obtained a SUV and N20,000 from Sayou in exchange for spiritual breakthroughs.
