… Devil Wants To Tarnish My Image, Pastor Cries Out

Godsent Foundation, a non-profit and non-governmental organisation, has accused Founder of Christian Chapel International Gospel Centre, (name withheld) of impregnating one mentally unstable Miss Blessing who has given birth to a child.

President of the Foundation, Ambassador Dion Osagie, while addressing newsmen on the incident in Benin, said he was confident that the pastor has a link to the child given birth by Blessing, going by the way she (Blessing) repeatedly mentioned his name.

According to him, he came across Miss Blessing where she was selling sachet water on the street and decided to pick her up for rehabilitation, adding that since then she has been repeatedly mentioning the pastor had carnal knowledge of her.

He said the anger the pastor exhibited when he (Osagie) and his crew went to Blessing’s family house that is very close to the said church was suspicious, adding that he may have link to the child.

Osagie added that Godsent Foundation was poised in investigating the issue and making sure that the truth is unraveled, just as he said the Foundation would go an extra mile of carrying out a DNA test.

” We have a video of where the mentally unstable girl mentioned his name. The mentally unstable girl has a baby and she has been consistently mentioning the pastor’s name. So, we want to carry out a DNA test on the baby and the pastor to be sure he is not father of the baby. But if he is responsible, he is going to pay us all the expenses we have incurred.

” Since the case is under investigation, the proper thing is to lockup the church for now. We need to find out if the church is registered with CAC, and if it is not registered, he has no business operating,” he said.

Responding to INFO DAILY questions in an interview on the allegation, the pastor said he can never, as a man of God, do such a thing, stressing that it’s devil’s cunny way of tarnishing his image and that of other men of God.

According to him, Blessing is someone he converted alongside her sister and mother in the year 2003 when he was still youth president at the Church of God Mission, Benin.

He added that since then she (Blessing) has been in contact with him and does come to his church for some special programmes, stressing that she is not a member of his church.

He said, ” Blessing is my convert in year 2003. Then I was not a pastor but youth president at the Church of God Mission. We used to do door-to-door evangelism, and that was when we went to their house to preach to Blessings and her sister and they both joined the church alongside their mother.

” If you watch the video, she said one pastor Elijah impregnated her and not even me.

” The fact is, she is unstable mentally. The only way to get the real story is when she is mentally stable.

” On this very matter, I believe Satan has a way of tarnishing the image of God’s people. This is the handiwork of the devil. I am a focus man that aimed at bringing people out of darkness to light.”

On threat by the Foundation that they were going to carry out DNA test, the pastor said he was ready to submit himself for the test, saying ” If they want to carry out a DNA test, I will be glad and ready to submit myself for that.”

The victim, Blessing, speaking to INFO DAILY from where she is under rehabilitation and regaining her senses, denied the allegation that the Pastor slept with her or impregnated her.

She said all what she was saying earlier, was not herself but a spirit was speaking to her to utter some words and consequently speaks through her.

She said, ” He did not sleep with me but just that I was not all right and most often I used to hear a voice speaking to me to say things, and this voice started when I started working with one Alhaji in Lagos State where I defrauded him of N250,000. After the act, I have been hearing the voice. I offend people without reason.

” I don’t really know who is responsible for my child but one thing is that I slept with different men. When I went to Auchi Poly where I eventually withdrew because of my health status, I met with one Collins and we were dating and sleeping with each other.

” When I withdrew because of my health status and was selling pure water, I slept with more than 80 men so I can’t say who is responsible.”

NAFDAC Warns Of Fake Postinor-2 In Circulation

The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control on Monday issued a public alert, warning the public about confirmed counterfeit batches of Postinor-2 (Levonorgestrel 0.75 mg) now circulating in Nigeria.

The alert follows a report from the Society for Family Health, the marketing authorisation holder, confirming that they did not import the suspect batches.

Postinor-2 (Levonorgestrel 0.75mg) is a brand of emergency contraceptive pill containing the active ingredient levonorgestrel.

NAFDAC revealed there are noticeable labelling discrepancies between the authentic and fake products.

It said, “The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) hereby notifies the public of falsified Type 1 and 2 batches of POSTINOR 2 (Levonorgestrel 0.75mg) product in circulation.

“The noticeable difference was found to be as follows: The font size of the text on the pin verification sticker appears smaller and has a wrong spelling of the word Veify instead of Verify on the fake; meanwhile, the text font on the sticker of the original appears bigger and more visible. There is also a wrong spelling behind the pack of the fake “Distnibuted in Nigeria” instead of distributed in Nigeria”, NAFDAC said.

NAFDAC identified the original Postinor-2 as batch T32458H, manufactured in February 2023 with an expiry date of February 2027 and registration number 04-6985.

The agency, however, confirmed two falsified versions: Counterfeit Product (Type 1), batch T36184B, manufactured in August 2024 with an expiry date of August 2028; and Counterfeit Product (Type 2), batch 332, manufactured in March 2023 with an expiry date of February 2027, both carrying the registration number 04-6985.

It said that due to the potential presence of incorrect, substandard, or harmful ingredients, improper dosages of levonorgestrel, and a lack of sterile manufacturing conditions, poses significant risks to individual health and public safety.

“The risks of administering falsified Postinor 2 (Levonorgestrel 0.75mg) include failure of contraceptive effect, toxic or harmful contaminants, unpredictable side effects, delayed or missed opportunity for genuine emergency contraception, and potential long-term reproductive health impact. Unexpected side effects: Unknown substances can trigger allergic reactions, organ damage, or death.

“Counterfeit medicines are unregulated, untested, and illegal, making their safety and efficacy impossible to guarantee. Patients should only obtain Postinor-2 from verified pharmacies or licensed healthcare providers.

“Although Investigations are still ongoing regarding the source of the falsified product, all NAFDAC zonal directors and state coordinators have been directed to carry out surveillance and mop up the falsified product of type 1 and 2 postinor 2 (Levonorgestrel 0.75mg) within the zones and states,” it added.

NAFDAC urged consumers and healthcare providers to verify PIN stickers carefully, report suspected counterfeit products, and always purchase medications from reputable sources.
