.......Pastors rip apart General Overseer from hell


Pastors descend on Church Overseer who is to die by hanging in Rivers State for the murder of his pregnant mistress, her friend and nine-year-old daughter.

The involvement of supposed men of God in heinous crimes has left a big
question mark as to who really is a man of God and how does the public know one?



In a recent case, in Rivers State, the General Overseer of Altar of Solution and Healing Assembly, Pastor Chidiebere Okoroafor, blamed the devil after being sentenced to death by a Port Harcourt High Court for the murder of his choir mistress, her friend and 11-month-old toddler.

And the response from the clergy was “you were never a man of God.”

Manifestation of the beast in Afam, Oyigbo Local Government Area based Okoroafor came into light when operatives of the Homicide Department of Rivers Police Command apprehended him on December 17, 2017 following the alarm raised by one Joseph Ezenwa.

Ezenwa’s wife, Chigozie, with nine months old Christabel strapped to her back, had accompanied her friend, Orlunma Nwagba, to meet Okoroafor, their pastor.

In the police account of his confession, Okoroafor had, in a secret sexual affair, impregnated 25-year-old Orlunma, his church choir mistress.

Both friends on December 11, 2017 set out to confront the General Overseer to resolve the scandalous pregnancy issue.

Evil Genius

Apparently decided on erasing the looming scandal on his own terms, Okoroafor had separated his visitors.


He lured the pregnant choir mistress to an uncompleted building while asking her friend to stay three “poles” away.

According to then-DCP Cyril Okoro of the Rivers Police Command, the pastor strangled Orlunma in the uncompleted building.

He then rejoined Chigozie and left with her and her baby on a tricycle (keke) to Afam Roundabout.

From the roundabout, they took a motorbike on lonely Igberu Road.

Okoroafor murdered his second victim in an isolated bush, using the wrapper with which Chigozie strapped her baby to her back to suffocate her.

“The baby was equally discovered dead. This murder by the suspect was premeditated, callous and devoid of human sympathy,” Okoro had said, adding that the pastor manipulated both friends after taking advantage of the trust they had in him.

Retribution

Eight years after, Justice S.O Benson, in the June 6, 2023 judgment, said the evidence and confessional statements from the pastor showed he committed the crime.

The prosecution, having proven the case of murder against the cleric, the judge ordered that Okoroafor be killed by hanging or served lethal injection which kills faster.

Counsel from the state Ministry of Justice, Precious Ordu, said the prosecution was undaunted despite receiving threats through the trial and that it was gratifying that “justice has been served to state, the complainant, and the convict”, while also thanking the International Federation of Women Lawyers (FIDA) which brought up the case before the state took over.

Resolved to appeal the judgment, counsel for the defendant, Dr Innocent Ekwu, said the court ‘misconceived the law’, adding, “The court held there was no eyewitness, not even one throughout the trial. The court also held there was no circumstantial evidence linking the fellow to murder.

“The court convicted him of murder on account of his confessional statements. We, as counsel to the defendant, are going to file our notice of appeal as quickly as possible because we have grounds on which we believe the defendant did not commit the offence.”

The convict, upon his sentence, as he was said to have told the police back in 2017, said his actions were the handiwork of the devil while also apologising to relatives of those murdered.

Clerics Speak


Rev Emmanuel Nwabuikwu, Pastor at Ebenezer Baptist Church, Port Harcourt, said, “Crime is a societal thing. Human beings will commit it in different ways, at different times. However, when this has to do with a supposed pastor, there lies the prophetic factor

“Bible lets us know at this period in history that evil will increase and many charlatans, and false prophets will arise, Matthew 24:11. So, from the Christian viewpoint, these things happening are not a surprise.

“People blame the devil for the evil they knowingly and consciously commit. Inasmuch as Satan is a real spiritual entity in Christian belief, every man is responsible before God and society for the crimes they commit, and they will pay. So, it is pointless blaming the devil.

“There are those who present selves as men of God but are pretentious predators that fleece the ignorant and gullible. It is their appetite that called them to ministry, not God.

“The media is quick to flash every news about men of God misbehaving, but it’s important to understand that it’s not every ‘man of God’ that is a man of God.”


Rev Ese Diajiyeren of Good Shepherd Baptist Church, on his part, said, “Truth remains that incidents of this kind abound. Crime is condemnable. I feel the so-called pastor wanted to cover up his crime (2 Samuel 11). See the case of King David and Bathsheba.

“Yes, the devil tempts, but we are told in scripture not to give him a chance (Ephesians 4: 27). It is in giving the devil a chance that usually leads to such regrettable actions.

“A true man of God who is careless can fall into the first temptation, like King David. The issue of temptation is a real issue. Hence we are admonished in scripture to be on guard or alert (1 Pet. 5: 8 ).

“A true man of God is known by his fruit. His preaching/words must match his actions. Pastoral ministry like some other professions brings the pastor in contact with several people, especially female folks seeking his attention.

“To steer clear of sexual temptation and attendant challenges, pastors should set boundaries for selves in their relationship with the opposite sex.


“Also, they are advised to be mindful of their humanity. That one is a pastor does not remove sexuality from him. He is to be alert to that fact and keep his sexual urge under tight control. Above all, there is no excuse for taking the lives of others.

Twenty-six-year-old Ohenhen Victor Ikponwosa, a graduate of Ambrose Ali University, Ekpoma and 10 others were on Tuesday, June 20, 2023, convicted and sentenced to prison by Justice Efe Ikponmwonba of Edo State High Court sitting in Benin City for internet fraud.


The others are Iredia Junior Ehis, Awe Macdonald, Azanuwa Junior, Kelvin Akenuwa, Godspower Oghenekohwa, Collins Daniel, Junior Osarobo, Marvis Ogbodaga Osemudiamen, Jephthah Eromosele and Christopher Christian Dickson.




The convicts’ journey to prison began following their arrest based on intelligence on their nefarious activities by operatives of Benin Zonal Command of the EFCC and subsequent arraignment on separate one-count charges each bordering on possession of alleged proceeds of crime, false representation and unlawful possession of fraudulent documents, contrary to Sections 17(a) of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission ( Establishment) Act, 2004 and punishable under Section 17(b) of the same Act.


Upon arraignment, the defendants pleaded guilty to their respective charges prompting the prosecution counsel, I.M. Elodi, Salihu Ahmed and KY Bello to pray the court to convict and sentence the defendants accordingly.

However, counsel to the defendants pleaded with the court to temper justice with mercy as the defendants were first-time offenders who had turned a new leaf.

Justice Ikponmwonba thereafter convicted and sentenced Osemudiamen, Ikponwosa and Ehis to three years imprisonment with an option of Two Hundred Thousand Naira as fine.


The quartet of Akenuwa, Macdonald, Dickson, and Oghenekohwa bagged two years imprisonment with an option of One Hundred Thousand Naira fine while Eromosele, Oserobo, and Daniel were sent to three years imprisonment with an option of One Hundred Thousand Naira fine.

The judge sentenced Junior to two years imprisonment with an option of Two Hundred Thousand Naira fine. The judge also ordered that a Lexus RX 330 car and phones recovered during the investigation, being proceeds of crime, be forfeited to the Federal Government of Nigeria.

The Police have dared ex-Governor Bello Matawalle of Zamfara State to prove that his cars were stolen.

After the raid on his residences in Gusau and Maradun, Matawalle had claimed he was robbed.



In an interview with BBC Hausa, the former governor had said, “I have never seen this kind of stupidity where someone’s house will just be entered without any permission as if we are in a lawless country.

“I am in Abuja and nobody told me that any court gave that order or invite me and I refused to answer. The saddest thing is that, in my Gusau house, all my wives’ rooms were broken, even hijabs have been taken away. Stoves were all put in a car and taken away.



“In my Maradun house, they took away all campaign cars that people gave us as contributions, including those I bought in United States even before becoming governor, you know I was a car seller. I will not ask them to bring the cars back, everybody knows that I have cars. This is robbery, they entered everywhere in my houses, even my daughter’s wedding clothing materials (Kayan Lefe) were not spared.”

But in a statement on Saturday evening, ASP Yazid Abubakar, Police Public Relations Officer in Zamfara, challenged anyone who felt his items were stolen to come forward with evidence.

“The Command is currently investigating a Complaint of missing Zamfara State Government vehicles. Members of the public who have useful information about these missing vehicles are humbly requested to come forward with such information to assist the Investigation.”

“Persons who feel their vehicles were wrongfully attached while executing search warrants during the course of this investigation are advised to produce proof of ownership to claim such vehicles.


“Members of the public will be duly informed of the outcome of this Investigation and are further advised to desist from spreading false information to mislead the public which is capable of inciting disturbance that can attract arrest and prosecution.”

The Edo State Government on Tuesday empathized with the citizens over the removal of fuel subsidy which has led to an increase in the price of goods and services.

The state governor, Godwin Obaseki, who stated said that civil and public servants would work three days a week as against five days due to the rise in transportation.

He said, “In the wake of fuel subsidy removal by the Federal Government, fuel prices have increased astronomically leading to a rise in prices of goods and services and overall cost of living.

“The Edo State Government shares the pains of our people and wants to assure everyone that we are standing with them in these very challenging times.


“We want to reassure our people that we will do all within our powers as a sub-national government to reduce the pains and ameliorate the sufferings our people are currently facing in the wake of the current realities.

“As a proactive government, we have since taken the step to increase the minimum wage paid to workers in Edo State from the approved N30,000 to N40,000, the highest in the country today.


“We want to assure you that we will continue to pay this amount, while we hope to increase it even further if more allocation accrues to our State from the Federal Government in view of the expected savings occasioned by the removal of the fuel subsidy.


He continued, “We know the hardship that has been caused by this policy which has radically increased the cost of transportation, eating deep into the wages of workers in the State. Therefore, the Edo State Government is hereby reducing the number of work days that civil and public servants will have to commute to their workplaces from five days a week to three days a week.

“Similarly, for teachers and parents, their commuting to school will be reduced as the government is working on deepening the EdoBEST@Home initiative to create more virtual classes, thereby reducing the cost of commuting on parents, teachers and pupils. The Edo SUBEB will provide details on this initiative in the coming days.

“To lower the rising cost of energy on our people, we will continue to work with the electricity companies in the State to improve power supply to homes and businesses.

“Similarly, fibre optic connections are being made available to help our people work remotely, thereby reducing their cost of transportation.

“While government intensifies these efforts to alleviate the burden of the fuel price increase on the people during this very challenging period, we want to call on everyone to remain calm and go about their daily businesses lawfully,” the governor added.

Really

Odibembem:
Whats the name of the father of Goodluck Jonathan? What is d name of the father of Mohammadu Buhari and Olusegun Obasanjo? Over Sabi IPOB

Odibembem, a simple and harmless question asked by the OP is what you have turned into a tribal and ethnic divisive campaign

You could have avoided making a comment if don't have answers to his questions than displaying to the entire universe your tribal bigotry

Djbme:
Hello this is not a propaganda I live in the border I know what I am saying
Leave politics aside there’s no way government can totally eradicate smuggling no way

Why?

It can be curtailed, if it's not totally eradicated


The problem with us in this part of the world is that we accept abnormalities as normal

When government failed to do their job, they create a scenario of helplessness and then push push the resultant consequences on the masses

Confirmedzombie:
GEJ had no balls to step on toes. That was his weakness.

Tinubu has the balls and majority of Nigerians stand with him.

This purported strike will bulkanize NLC. There will be so much division in NLC .

Peter Obi is the mastermind of this purported strike.

The strike will consume Peter obi. He will never smell the seat of power.

Not really

But nairaland Tinubu minions who stood on his dilapidated scrotum are the ones standing with him on this thoughtless decision

Confirmedzombie:
Since the announcement of strike by NLC, both Atiku and Peter have not altered any word.

Its obvious Peter obi and Atiku are the mastermind of this purported strike action by NLC.

Both Peter obi and Atiku are people who talked heaven and earth to change Nigeria but can't rise up on their voices to back the subsidy removal all cos they lost the election.

Honestly Nigeria dodged a bullet not voting both Peter obi and Atiku.

Just the same way Tinubu masterminded the occupy Nigeria protests against subsidy removal during Goodluck Jonathan regime

Gidado is an unknown entity


What is NLC north and NLC south west?

What about TUC north and TUC south west


What about NUJ north and NUJ south west


What about Nigerians of the North and Nigerians of the south west

BluntCrazeMan:
You sad.??

Why are you sad naa.??

Is that the meaning of the emoji

I didn't know

I used it to book space

Parachoko:
NLC protest will only be successful in Onitsha and Aba

Hope you are going to be part of it

Parachoko:
If una like make una protest for a full year in Aba and Onitsha, subsidy is gone for good

Subsidy protest will begin from Lagos State

Parachoko:
NLC strike will fail woefully

Subsidy is Gone for good

Why will it fail

Did Occupy Nigeria protest organised by Tinubu and his ilks during Goodluck Jonathan regime fail

eddynaira125:
I think seun don't reason logically before speaking, seun IQ is low, thank God for the discovery of Nairaland through him, he would have end up picking scrap from the jungles of Lagos

presidentBAT:
Na you Sabi

Do you even know what an ideology is

DonEd:
The July date won't work as there are still sections of the project that is still ongoing.

It was clearly a ribbon cutting exercise.

So July date is not even feasible but Tinubu minions in justifying decision to as regards subsidy removal are saying that Nigeria has a working refinery currently

There is no ideology

Yakubu Mahmud is heading to jail including Tinubu

Tinubu will make history as the first democratic president to go to jail

They are already culpable

They are are heading to jail

Infact, Tinubu will make history as the first Nigerian democratic president to be jailed

ORIENTATION101:
bro I guess you live under rock.
Where I live in Lagos, we have over 18hrs steady light. Infact generator is useless.
In a nutshell. Any areas that is 90% metered enjoys over 18hrs light .
Not only in Lagos other states inclusive.
In magodo area sometimes ago They fucking had 24hrs light over a month.
Leave trenches bro

I live in the city but you need to travel around to see things yourself

Nigerians are suffering, the subsidy removal only exasperated the situation

Tinubu wasn't supposed to start this way, there are other critical things to do not subsidy removal. No money will be saved from it
He should tackle the high cost of governance and corruption, he will save a whole lot of money from there

ORIENTATION101:
nigeria situation us critical compare to Angola, yet Angola has cut major subsidy funding.
If Angola was using loan to pay subsidy by now it would have been phased out instead of their 2025 target

Why is Nigeria in a critical situation, who are those who put Nigeria in a critical situation

Let's fix that first

Angola as a Oil producing country is subsidising kerosene, diesel, cooking gas and gasoil

These ones have already been phased out here in Nigeria

What is the common man benefiting from Nigeria as an Oil producing country

ORIENTATION101:
lols you think what Nigerian students pays is what FG is using to maintain their federal institution.

Your ignorance is legendary if you think nigerians are paying real market value of
Electricity, school fees and hospital fees in all federal institutions.

You display of ignorance is second to none

Where is the electricity, is there any where in Nigeria that can boast of 18hrs steady electricity every day.

Have you gone around to see the state of our primary health care centres

Honestly, I pity you bro

Lutherblaq:


Something that beat my imagination is how someone will suddenly anounce the removal of subsidy on his inauguration day without a single plan
Did he thinks nigeria is iragbiji

He thinks Nigeria is GAC APC lagos State chapter, where his words are law. He determines who becomes the governor, senator, rep member and State house of assembly member

ORIENTATION101:
dey play

We are saying the same thing

Go back to read my first paragraph
