Yesterday, I saw a number of pictures of a man referred to as a “Fake Bishop”, who is also a plumber “apprehended” presumably by supporters of Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party candidate, Peter Obi in a market in Dei Dei neighbourhood of Abuja. His offence? He was accused of appearing as a “fake bishop” at the unveiling event of Bola Tinubu’s VP, Alhaji Shettima also in Abuja weeks ago.
I was particularly shocked that some highly respected persons on Facebook/WhatsApp and elsewhere celebrated this mob justice against this particular Nigerian. Since the advent of this election cycle we’ve seen and observed a heightened level of harassment of citizens via death threats, arson threats, verbal and now physical abuse against those who happen not to support Peter Obi’s candidacy.
A Catholic Church pastored by Rev Fr. Ejike Mbaka known as Adoration Ministry was a victim of this mob action, Femi Kuti’s African Shrine in Lagos was at the receiving end of arsonists over his refusal to support Mr. Obi for President.
We’ve seen supporters brandishing guns and threatening people who might not support Obi’s candidacy. A former media assistant to former President Goodluck Jonathan, Reno Omokri complained consistently that the life of his one year old daughter was repeatedly threatened.
Obi’s supporters are not alone in this unconscionable act, a disabled Obi supporter was reportedly beaten for displaying his paraphernalia. However, Obi’s campaigners have demonstrated the most amount of intolerance and harassment of his opponents.
The latest mobbing of the Bishop/plumber is barbaric, unacceptable and criminal. I condemn these conducts and urge Nigerians to stand by their rights to choose their leaders without pandering to fear, harassment and threats by anyone.
No set of persons or groups should be allowed to ride roughshod on anyone simply because they refuse to follow their preferred candidate(s). It is DEMOCRACY, founded and built fundamentally on the freedom to choose.

Igbos are barbaric savages

When they finally burn down this market they will be claiming victim.

Sowore, maybe your still in the cold comfort of your air conditioned room, but the people outside are homeless, tired, hungry and on edge.

Please pray for a free and fair election where people vote wisely for their candidates with peace.

I dont know what will happen if nigerians are disenfranchised or their wishes thwarted again. The anger on the streets has reached boiling points.

Thank you Sir.

NB.

For all the people making noise below me, what would have happened to this man if he had faked or abused a cleric from your own faith?

Again, Obi's supporters have demonstrated the trademark of their origin and proved to the world their very low level of civility. At this age and time, we have seen people mobbing a man for exercising his fundamental human rights of association.

This happened in an igbo-dominated market in Abuja, not in Okija or any of the villages in the eastern forest of Nigeria. Nigerians should pay attention to this and all those illiterate religious bigots in the north and SW who think the coming election is all about the religion of the contenders should have a rethink now. The day you be mobbed for a simple dissenting view by the same set of illiterate traders from Okija you are supporting will soon come.

So the idiotic “bishop” has no blame for impersonating who and what he is not?

This sowore has lost his sense of reasoning. As someone also contesting the same presidential election why not focus on how you will win the hearts of electorates instead of de-marketing peter Obi?

The most disturbing aspect is not the illiterate village Igbo shopkeeper but the so-called enlightened ones that make excuses and encourage such mob activities.

They are all barbaric savages.

I'm not surprise at the action of idiotic pigs of biafra terrorist. a terrorist will always be terrorist. and terrorist obituary can never be Nigeria president in Jesus name.

This sowore has lost his sence of reasoning.

for saying the truth.
idiotic pigs of biafra terrorist are a disgrace to this country.

Nigeria shall rise again.

Obi/ Datti 2023

Seriously the mob action on that Bishop is highly condemnable

What was his offense to deserve such inhumane act? No freedom of expression or speech!

Pandora's supporters should stop their babaric act before they meet their waterloo.

Foolish tribal bigot.
I'm sure you didn't condem the killing & burning of Deborah by muslims.
Imagine what would have happened to that man if actually it was an Imam he impersonated.
That is what muslims call blasphemy.
Try to de reason before talking like the fool you are.

Shut up... dumbo! People that should be in the village chasing lizards around are also contributing to discussions by civilized people.
Is it stated anywhere in our constitution/act the uniform/garb that can only be used by bishops/evangelists/pastors?

Violence is not condoned.

Fear is a factor in the minds of those like Reno Omokri who want the status quo to continue.

Is it not time for the youths to take back their country from the looting old men and their supporters? By the way, how fast have people forgotten about the threat of violence over the nation in 2015, with the words baboons and monkeys and blood? Was the threat not followed up with Fulani militia from various countries into our forests to cause war? Have we experienced peace nationally since 2015?

Jagbajantis intete.

This comment coming from someone with the username (Jesus Loves You) is the greatest irony of all time.

Plumber-Bishop. The lack of shame it takes someone to write such an anomaly. Can only be an Afonja. Shameless people.

Penguin2:

So you support that mob action? Any respect I have for you is gone.

who is also a plumber “apprehended” presumably by supporters of Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party candidate, Peter Obi in a market

What exact was done to the so called Bishop?

Answer...nothing. absolutely nothing. No assault, nothing.
But because you lack anything to say against obi you must latch onto anything no matter how fictitious.

Now you are threatening to burn people's shops.

Hmmm

See how they are venting their venom on the Igbos and yet the idiot that blasphemed Christianity was not even beaten nor killed and burnt as other religions would av done if it were to be their faith that was blasphemed.

Anyways, the igbos still remained one of the most civilised tribe in Nigeria.

The idiot blasphemer was luck i wasn't there, I WOULD AV SOUNDED HIM SOME NICE SLAPS TO DISLODGE ONE OR TWO TEETHES FROM HIS DIRTY LONG MOUTH!

They wrote Peter obi supporters on the heads of the mob ? Or is there something I'm missing ?

How can we be sure tinubu supporters , kwankwaso supporters , PDP supporters were not involved

Is sowore now God to know the mind of the attackers ?

One thing I know is that if it were to be fake iman, that guy would have left there as ashes

Instead of blaming the fake man for God you are now blaming the innocent people who only want to teach him a little leason. If it were to be Muslims by now he could have been shearing the same grave as Deborah.

You are still calling the impostor bishop even when the truth is out that he is a fake and cheap impostor masquerading as a bishop courtesy of your desperate Agbado master, ifere megbuo gi.

Na one chance be Labour party with Obi inside oh.

You can see the responses from the villagers who want one of their own to rule Nigeria by force. Let's see if your candidate would even come 3rd in the election. Sebi, igbos votes alone, and that of the few bigots in SW and north can make your candidate the president. Continue...

This is how you defend rubbish .

The mob could have easily lynched that man if it was in your blighted yeast and idiots like you will deny it happened and when its proven it really happened , denied he was killed for impersonating a bishop and when that is finally revealed you will justify the killing by citing religious mob action in the north as a norm to be copied by you savages .

I know you people too well.

Coming from cowards who have never said anything when Muslim go on rampage when their religion is blasphemed, in fact these afonja cowards will be the one to blame the victim claiming that he did respect religion
