Plans to eliminate the President of the Christian Association of Nigerian (CAN), Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor, by sabotaging the integrity of his Bombardier Challenger 600 aircraft have been uncovered.

According to the African Free Press, the Man of God narrowly escaped death by the whiskers because his aircraft would have crashed if not for the grace of God and the professionalism of the pilot.

This disclosure emanated from a reliable source close to the CAN President who said Oritsejafor who also is the Senior Pastor of Word of Life Bible Church, was on board his private aircraft when the pilot detected an unusual sound from the engine compartment forcing him to make an emergency landing and subjecting the aircraft to checks.

Upon checking for the source and cause of the sound, the engineers spotted two huge bricks placed inside the engine compartment by yet unidentified persons.

Judging from the unfortunate incident as it were, the plan was for Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor’s aircraft to crash with him on board. The high-flying pastor was said to have been distressed over this development.

The said aircraft has designated parking spaces at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport Abuja, Murtala Mohammed International Airport, Lagos and Osubi Airstrip also known as Warri Airport all of which are under the management of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) which collects heavy fees as packing and security charges.

Efforts to reach Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor on this incident have not yielded fruit. However, a source inside FAAN who wishes to remain anonymous because he is not authorised to speak to the press confirmed to our reporters that the lawyers of Pastor Oritsejafor have written to FAAN on the frightful and outrageous incident, demanding an explanation on how and why two bricks were lodged in the engine compartment of the aircraft while it was under their care. The said letter has raised tension in FAAN as no one has claimed responsibility.

In the twists and turns of events, the pastor’s name was dragged into Nigerian politics by his detractors for being close to former, President Goodluck Jonathan and for being vociferous in his criticism of the Islamists group, Boko Haram.

The climax of the attack against him came to the fore when the aircraft which was donated to him by his congregation and some of his sons and daughters was leased out and it got entangled in a botched arms deal in South Africa.

According to government sources, the aircraft which was also on commercial lease was hired by the office of the NSA to cater for the security needs of the nation.

The opposition then leaned on the botched transaction to denigrate the CAN president ahead of the 2015 general election.

Both CAN and the CAN president have repeatedly called for a comprehensive probe of the botched deal. It is obvious that those who were eager to frame Pastor Ayo have not rested since then.

We have returned to the era of political killing......#bringbacKGEJ

Anyway,shiit happens sometimes. Even those who own private jets are not safe in the skies. Thank God he's safe.

The era of assasinations is back!! We had respite for 6 good years but that appears to have all gone now.Change indeed!!

That id.iot on top should travel back to the village to plead with his ancestors. They did terrible thing to him.

Mtchewww... Who wan assassinate this one

For the years that GEJ was president there was no known record of political assassinations.
Is Nigeria gradually sliding back to the dark era of yesteryears?

The way and manner oppositions are being muted and hunted is taking frightening dimensions.

If this administration doesn't do something urgently to unify this country quickly, I am afraid for what the future holds for Nigeria.

Who wants to kill him

If people wanted him dead, he would have been by now cos air disasters are the easiest to arrange, watched enough discovery channel to know....

he wasn't killed at the height of his infamy, when he was spreading religious propaganda, now that even CAN is barely tolerating ...

He misses press attention maybe. ... Don't regular aircrafts have near misses as well?

He should search his soul & talk to God.

High powered assassination returning to Nigeria



During all the years of our hero, GEJ as President of Nigeria there was not a single political assassination. (Please provide any empirical evidence, if you have one)


Why is it returning now ? CHANGE ?

I will quote you fool, It's your entire generation that would forever remain worthless for regarding the CAN President in such manner, why was a brick lodged in his engine compartment when his aircraft remained under the custody of FAAN a Federal Govt agency under this administration? They so fear this Man of God that they want him dead despite all the vicious attacks against him just because he upheld the voice of Christians been slayed up north no wonder God Preserved him.

Accident happens. Mechanical, human and weather conditions contribute to all of them.

I dont know what you mean by religious propaganda i would appreciate if you buttress on it.
Is it by his constant call for Boko Haram to stop shedding innocent blood of Christians in particular or for insisting on the international community to designate Boko Haram as a terrorist or him criticizing the Northern Leaders for not doing enough to curtail Boko Haram when most of the Northern leaders appeared passive about it? If this are what you regard as religious propaganda then you missed it bro

This is indeed a welcome development, afterall he has stolen enough of our common wealth during the Ebele clueless era.

And Y is he afraid to go to heaven and be welcomed by his lord Jesus with angels singing hosanna, hosanna, hosanna & hallelujah simultaneously ?

Everyone wants to go to heaven but no one wants to die. Even those heaven is their business. Through vision you can figure out who is responsible.

Bricks were found in the engine compartments and all of a sudden it's political assassination mtchew. There are better and easier ways to sabotage the plane. Thank God he is save

Is this how to assassinate someone? Put a brick in his planes' engine so that his plane cannot take off and you call that assassination plot?
Seun, one of your moderators (or possibly you) have modified the title of this story and attributed the misleading title to thisday. What is happening to nairaland? It's clear the OP was trying to sensationalise it but for nairaland to promote the OP's choice of topic and attribute it to Thisday is wrong. Seun and Mukina2 please call the super mods to order.

The 1000 hit list.......

There is something about this APC government, they are beginning to introduce intolerance into the polity.

Jesu
Same way they killed the christian governor of Kaduna state Azazi......
May God destroy all those killing men of God.
