Defending the Faith: Exposing the Blackmail Campaign Against Nigerian Churches

The ongoing blackmail campaign targeting churches in Nigeria, led by individuals such as Martins Vincent Otse, also known as ‘VeryDarkMan,’ has ignited deep concerns among the Christian community. These malicious attacks, aimed at undermining the credibility of spiritual leaders and church practices, are not only damaging but threaten the unity of Christians in Nigeria.

The troubling aspect of this situation is the silence of the Christian body, leaving spiritual leaders like the late Senior Prophet TB Joshua and Prophet Jeremiah Omoto vulnerable to false accusations. For instance, Otse’s claims about the sale of “miracle water” by Prophet Omoto led to an unnecessary NAFDAC investigation, even though the water came from a legitimate source, Globod Table Water. Despite the findings, the agency went ahead with a misleading publication, further harming the church’s reputation.

This raises an important question: Would these individuals have the courage to launch similar attacks against the spiritual practices of other religions, such as the use of Zam-Zam water in Islam?

The discrediting of spiritual materials is not just an attack on individual churches, but an assault on religious practices that hold deep meaning for millions. Across denominations, items like holy water, oil, and aprons are essential for healing and deliverance. Their significance mirrors practices like the Roman Catholic use of communion bread, which, through consecration, becomes the body of Christ.

Christians must recognize that the assault on these practices is part of a broader strategy to weaken Christianity in Nigeria. It’s time for the Christian community to break its silence and take a united stand against those seeking to tarnish the faith. The Nigerian government must also be called upon to act decisively against these blackmailers, protecting religious freedom and ensuring that the body of Christ remains strong.

An injury to one church is an injury to all—now is the time for Christians to defend their faith and unity in the face of these attacks.

APC Raises Alarm Over Fake Court Ruling Disqualifying Okpebholo from Edo Governorship Election

With less than 24 hours to the Edo State Governorship Election set for September 21, 2024, the All Progressives Congress (APC) has raised an alarm over a fake court ruling circulating online, falsely claiming that their candidate, Senator Monday Okpebholo (Akpakomiza), has been disqualified. The party, in a statement released by its National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, condemned the ruling as a fabricated attempt to mislead the electorate and disrupt the democratic process.

Morka expressed deep concerns about the spread of the false information, calling it a “desperate act” designed to confuse voters on the eve of the election. He emphasized that Senator Okpebholo remains the legitimate and undisputed APC standard-bearer, urging voters to disregard any claims to the contrary. “This fake news is meant to sow seeds of doubt and subvert the will of the Edo electorate. It must be thoroughly rejected by the good and discerning people of Edo State,” Morka said, stressing that no court had issued such a ruling.

The APC also called on law enforcement agencies to swiftly investigate the origin of the fabricated ruling and bring those responsible to justice. Morka reaffirmed the party’s faith in the electoral process and urged Edo voters to stay vigilant and resolute. “We trust that the Edo people will reject these illegal devices aimed at derailing the election,” he added. As the state gears up for election day, the APC remains confident in Senator Okpebholo’s chances and encouraged citizens to cast their votes based on truth and integrity.
