Police arrests influencer, Ijele for accusing Evangelist Ebuka Obi of performing fake miracles ‘arrangee’

Mr. Chizorom Harrison Ofoegbu, a well-known Nigerian netizen on X, also known as Ijele Speaks II, has been arrested by the Nigeria Police Force.

He was imprisoned due to his claims against Evangelist Ebuka Obi.

In his viral article, Ijele dubbed the pastor a fraud and labeled all of his miracles as deceptions, encouraging authorities to arrest him for converting his holy institution into a business.

He wrote: “Dear @Lagos PoliceNG 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. 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.”

Police in Abuja then summoned Ijele to their station to investigate an alleged case of criminal intimidation, threat to life, cyberstalking, and cyberbullying against the pastor.

The petition letter, acquired by SaharaReporters, reads: “This office is investigating an alleged instance of criminal intimidation, threat to life, cyber stalking, cyber bullying, and conduct likely to cause a breach of peace in which your name appears prominently.

“In view of the above, you are kindly invited for an interview with the Assistant Inspector-General of Police, Zone 7 Police Headquarters, Abuja on 21st March, 2024 by 11:00am prompt through Officer-In-Charge of Crack Squad.”

According to SaharaReporters, the police refused to release Ijele after he accepted their offer. He was then brought to Keffi Correctional Centre in Nasarawa State  on Friday morning.
