Christ Embassy Faces A N1bn lawsuit After Pastors Beat Church member To Coma by Dragonking: 3:15pm On Jan 12, 2015
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.

The Church has bitten more than it can chew this time around. Why the assault in the first place? They will eventually settle out of court...

Super story!

Abi o...lawyers and their conjectures! how does one even fall thunderously to the ground?...a very brief person at that!

And with ALL that falling she only has an imaginary microscopic wound tucked way inside her mouth to show for it?

Walahi, I was expecting to see somebody all bandaged up like Lazarus with one leg hooked atop some hanger.

Madam Events Mgr must return and receive a beating that equals her story abeg.
