THE General Overseer of Elshaddai
Foundation Ministry at Oke Ira area of Ogba,
Lagos, Pastor Tom Joseph, is now under
interrogation at the State Criminal
Investigations Department (SCID) Panti over
alleged murder of a six year old baby with
olive oil.
Trouble started when the wife of Elder
Friday Duff, an elder in the Apostolic Church
Iyaje Abatan, Ogba district took the little girl
for deliverance in the church with the
knowledge of the father.
She said she went for family planning so as
to focus on the upbringing of her other
children but she did all these without the
consent of her husband.
According to her she went for medical
attention from a nurse said to work in a
government hospital.
The woman said she parted with an
undisclosed sum of money to the nurse who
administered some injections on her to
make her unproductive, as she demanded.
According to her since she took the
injection she has never been her normal self
again due to excessive bleeding.
She said she became very weak and hardly
does she walk a distance or do any tedious
job.
Sensing trouble they had on a particular day
went to church for prayers in their church
due to the severity of the bleeding she called
her husband aside and narrated her story
and pleaded that he should put her in his
prayers.
To the greatest amazement of the husband
who became furious and decided to table
the matter right there in the church before
their women leader.
She was scolded but a particular woman in
the church who was listening to the
conversation called her aside and advised
her that she knows a nurse who can solve
her problem.
Mrs Duff, like a drowning man in search of
help, opted to the woman’s advise and they
exchanged telephone numbers. A day was
set aside and a point of meeting fixed. The
strange woman in the church rather than
taking her to the nurse as agreed changed
gear and suggested to her that there was a
very powerful man of God who can
terminate the flow of blood within a twinkle
of an eye.
The man of God lives in an uncompleted
building where he used a small space
outside the building made with canopy as
his church.
Mrs. Duff said she told him of her problem
which he dismissed with a wave of hand as
a very minor issue and assured her to
consider it as a forgotten matter. The pastor
insisted that she must pay a token of
N38,000 which was later reduced to
N25,000 and the woman paid instantly and
a date was fixed for the deliverance.
According to her, on that faithful day,
January 17, 2012, the husband a staff of
Unilever Warehouse at Abule Egba left to his
working place as he was not notified by
wife.
Daily Champion gathered that immediately
he left, the wife also set out with her five
children to the pastor’s house for the
deliverance.
They reached the church between 8 and 9
am and the deliverance commenced at the
makeshift church.
Pastor Joseph was said to have
demonstrated that he had gone into the
spirit realm and God revealed to him that
her children were being caged by satanic
powers and they needed deliverance.
The man of God was alleged to have
brought out a battle of olive oil where he
poured into another bottle and gave two of
the children to drink. Before this, the man of
‘god’ had warned them that the children
would vomit and defecate regularly after
taking the oil.
The mother said as soon as they drank the
oil, their eyes turned as though, they were
intoxicated. They rolled on the floor as
though they were in a trance and fell into
deep sleep. The nine year old son, Joshua
was able to wake up at about 2pm but
Victoria failed to wake up as soon as
possible.
When the mother noticed that there was
danger she became worried but the pastor
allayed her fears and assured that all was
well. The mother insisted that he should
make the child to wake up without his
response. Her persistence compelled the
pastor to purchase a bottle of soft drink for
her.
The mother said she demanded for palm oil
for the child to drink apparently to
neutralize the efficacy of what was given to
her by the pastor but the pastor replied that
he had no oil.
However, Joshua, the only son, who survived
the storm said the substance that was given
to them was very harsh adding that the olive
oil where they were given was poured into
another bottle with a black substance.
‘I tasted it small and he warned me to drink
it at once or it will burn my mouth I drank it
slowly but Victoria poured everything at
once into her mouth. I prayed before I
drank slowly but Victoria poured everything
at once into her mouth and I prayed before
I drank it. There is one prayer we used to
say in our church I said the prayer before I
drank it’. Joshua said.
Mrs Duff further narrated that when it
became obvious that there was danger the
Pastor then suggested that the child should
be taken to another nearby place of worship
to save the child which they did.
She said another round of prayer was made
’they asked me to buy another Olive oil I
bought it and they turned it round on her
head and the bottle was thrown outside but
the bottle failed to break as envisaged
signifying that there was danger. I noticed
that the woman shook her head with
displeasure I then knew something serious
has befell me’ she said
According to her, the woman in the second
church where they were transferred to then
advised them to take the child to a nurse
living nearby.
At this time, it was about 3am the following
day and the father who had no idea of
where the wife went to had embarked on a
search for them since he returned from
work 5pm the previous day.
He felt her family had either been kidnapped
or something bad had happened to them
since they could not communicate as the
wife’s telephone was faulty. At about 3am
mother of the child and the Pastor had in an
effort to save her life took her to Urban
hospital located at Ogba and the child was
confirmed dead.
They took the child to the father who was
already filled with anger and fear on the fate
of his family.
According to Elder Duff ‘’At about 5am he
heard a knock on the door and his first child
asked him to open the door and behold he
saw a man standing with a baby on his
neck.
‘This is a man that I had known for years
when I was working as a driver, he was a
mechanic and I had to connect him to be
repairing my employers car, once he saw me
he called my name and asked me is this your
house and are these your children? I replied
yes by then I never knew the child he was
carrying was my daughter I ushered into my
house. He started talking and he mentioned
that my daughter was dead.
There I asked where she was and suddenly
it occurred to me that the child he was
carrying was my daughter. I went for a
matchet to cut him into pieces I called
neighbours who came out and he repeated
his story. That was how I asked him to carry
my daughter and we headed to the Area ‘G’
police station Ogba where he was arrested
and detained’. The father narrated.
The pastor we gathered had since been
transferred to the Homicide department of
the State Criminal Investigations Department
(SCID) Panti for discreet investigations while
the corpse had been deposited at the Isolo
General hospital mortuary for
autopsy.Meanwhile, father of the deceased
has demanded for justice to avert a similar
occurrence in the future.

^Sad to say that many of our people are ignorant and foolish. The two have a devastating effect on many lives.

Igorance kills. This is so sad!

Wow! Ignorance kills oh, especially in Nigeria!
