Lagos - The founder of Rapture Proclaimer Evangelical Church of God, Evangelist Funmilayo Adebayo, popularly called Mummy G.O, has said most of the videos about her on social media have been doctored. The Evangelist made this disclosure in an interview published by BBC Pidgin on Sunday, January 9.
She added that those behind the videos trending on social media have been after her for over eight years, adding that they once sent gunmen after her.
Her words: “All those videos are edited. Even Lucifer, if he’s made a pastor today, will he ever say all those things attributed to me talk less of someone called a holiness preacher?
"So, most of those things attributed to me were never said by me. The people behind the trend have been at it for over eight years. Sometimes they make use of magazines. When that didn’t work, they sent gunmen after me.” She alleged that some clerics are after her because their members are pulling out of their churches upon hearing her message.
“I’ve been receiving some strange calls saying ‘Evangelist Funmilayo you are affecting us. Many of our members hear your message and they pull out of our church. If you don’t stop, we will kill you’. “I thought it was just a threat until we started seeing gunmen chasing us while driving, coming to our church to threaten us and so on. At times, when I’m inside a banking hall, they take my picture and forward it to me, saying if they wanted to have me killed, they would have done so. They say they will disgrace me if I don’t stop. When they saw that I didn’t stop, they decided to make use of social media trends.”
Youths Hit The Streets Over Widespread Killings In The North
Youths are currently on the streets of some Northern cities over the widespread killings in the region.
Although Nigeria is currently facing a high wave of insecurity, bandits and terrorists have stepped up attacks in the north despite efforts of the government to contain them.
The protesters, who are wielding placards, have been sighted in Kano, Bauchi, Zamfara and Sokoto States.
They are also in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT)
Chanting songs of peace, the protesters called on President Muhammadu Buhari and governors to show more interest in tackling insecurity.
In Kano, young persons who headed to the Government House, wielded a banner with the inscription, ‘No More Blood Shed’.
Zainab Naseer Ahmad, who led the peaceful movement, lamented how insecurity is threatening the lives and livelihood of Nigerians.
“We come to share our concern and send a message to our leaders; we are tired of the worsening state of insecurity in the country.
“Every now and then, lives are lost, people are being unjustly killed like animals. We demand the return of peace in our societies.
“We are saying enough is enough, no more blood shed! Out-of-school children is witnessing a massive rise, orphans everywhere.
“We can’t travel in peace, economy is crumbling. People are burnt while travelling.”
The protesters marched from Audu Bako secretariat to Kano Government House, where security operatives received the group of protesters, listened to them and promised to take the matter further to the appropriate quarters.
There has been outrage in the land since bandits burnt alive some travellers in Sokoto earlier in the week.
