Police invite influencer who accused Lagos cleric of fake miracles

Chizorom Harrison Ofoegbu, the social media influencer identified as Ijele Speaks, has been invited by the police in Abuja — a few days after he accused Ebuka Obi, the lead founder of Zion Prayer Movement Outreach, of performing fake miracles. 

Last week, Ijele claimed Obi is a criminal and scammer who lives through dubious means.

In the post tagging the police, the influencer also accused the clergyman of being “a fraudster who performs fake miracles”.

“Dear @LagosPoliceNG cc @BenHundeyin and our Ministry of Justice, have we abolished the 4(19) of our criminal code? For how long is this thief Ebuka Obi going to be allowed to fool people? Is he above the law? So any criminal can wake up one day and say whatever he likes and would be allowed to go free because ……? Pastor? And these are the people whose business premises serve as polling units,” he wrote.

“They’ll help rig elections for politicians who in turn would be patronising them throughout their tenures. You dare not remit some of the public funds to them, else they’ll tell their sheep that God has removed his glory from you, for that reason you must fail in the next election cycle. Arrangee Master Ebuka Obi. Your scam is coming to an end.”

They've invited me to the Zone 7 headquarters of the @PoliceNG over a petition purportedly written against me without telling me the unfortunate being behind it. I'm answering them tomorrow. Let me see the mörôn before deciding my next step. This could be the biggest free speech… pic.twitter.com/R5aHHrLHOf
