… 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.”

The International Organisation for Migration (IOM), in collaboration with Giving is Healing Foundation, has sensitised residents of Ayobo in Alimosho Local Government Area of Lagos State on the dangers of irregular migration and the need to embrace legal travel procedures.

Speaking during a sensitisation programme held at Megida Ifelodu Community Development Association in Ayobo, the founder of Giving is Healing Foundation, Mr. Gbolahan Ayediran, warned intending migrants against using illegal travel routes.

Ayediran said many Nigerians desire to migrate abroad in search of better opportunities but often ignore proper procedures, thereby exposing themselves to several dangers.

“Lots of people want to migrate and most of them do it in the wrong direction. The reason for the programme is for us to advise people on how they can migrate in the right way. As much as migration is their right, they should do it correctly,” he said.

He advised intending travellers to obtain the necessary travel documents before embarking on any journey, noting that such documents include international passports, visas, flight tickets and yellow cards, depending on the destination country.

According to him, migrants should also gather adequate information about their destination countries to enable them make informed decisions before travelling.

Ayediran further highlighted some of the dangers associated with irregular migration, including abuse, exploitation, discrimination and forced labour.

Also speaking, the Chairman of Megida Ifelodu Community Development Association, Elder Mathews Amusan, commended the organisers for enlightening members of the community on safe migration practices.

He urged residents planning to travel abroad to always follow legal migration procedures to avoid falling victim to human trafficking and other migration-related challenges.

One of the participants, Mr. Kolawole Adenoko, said the programme enlightened him on the dangers of irregular migration and the importance of travelling through the proper channels.

He added that he would also educate his relatives and friends on the risks associated with illegal migration.

Ghanian singer, Captan, has claimed that his former record label boss, Shatta Wale, once bailed Nigerian singer Burna Boy out of prison in Ghana after he was allegedly arrested for smoking weed.

Speaking in a recent podcast interview, Captan claimed that Shatta Wale sent him and others to free Burna Boy from police custody.

He also claimed that Shatta Wale and his group once accommodated Burna Boy when he was being hunted by some dangerous men.

Captan said, “I once bailed Burna Boy out of prison in Ghana when he was arrested for smoking weed. Shatta Wale sent me and some guys to go and free him from police custody.

“There was a time we also accommodated him when some people were after his life. We helped him settle the case.”

He added that he and Burna Boy are no longer in good terms after the Nigerian artist’s fallout with his mentor, Shatta Wale.

He, however, said he and Shatta Wale are open to reconciling with Burna Boy if he asks for it.
