Security Operatives Beat Up Prophet Odumeje indabosky, Pull Down His Church.
A pastor based in Onitsha, Anambra State, Chukwuemeka Odumeje, known as “Indaboski Bahose” was beaten up on Thursday.
In March, the Anambra government had marked his church, Grace And Power Prophetic Ministry, Onitsha, for demolition for sitting on a drainage channel. Governor Chukwuma Soludo had visited Okpoko, a sprawling slum in Onitsha, a day after his swearing-in, and pledged to sanitize the area by ensuring the drainages are free. Odumeje’s church, which is in the community, was marked among the houses obstructing the free flow of water.
The prophet had reportedly attempted to stop the officials from demolishing his church, drawing the ire of the security men who accompanied the demolition team. In a video trending online, Odumeje was seen being shoved around by security men, including police officers and men of the vigilante's service. He was severally slapped, and restricted from moving to the demolition area.
The video however sparked mixed reactions, with many condemning the treatment meted to the cleric. Odumeje came to the limelight through videos of his controversial sermons and bizarre style of healing. He usually imitates heavyweight wrestlers by smacking down his sick members for healing. The cleric also claims to have many hidden powers, which he said were yet to be touched.
Commenting on the demolition, Chief Press Secretary to Anambra State governor, Mr Christian Aburime, said it has no sinister motive. He said the government had given notice to all those whose buildings were situated on drainage. He continued, “Following the expiration of the more than two weeks notice beginning from April 2022 served on developers and building owners who built several illegal structures along the waterway in FeFiggend environs within Onitsha, Anambra state government has begun demolition of such structures.
“The exercise which is being carried out by a joint government task force, commenced the exercise from Bida Road by Modebe Avenue, Figge Onitsha. The affected buildings include Mountain of Holy Ghost Intervention Deliverance Ministries, shops and other perimeter fences. “The structures were marked since April 2022 and all developers and building owners were served notice to remove such illegal structures.”
