The Foundation for Investigative Journalism (FIJ), a media source, has published Pastor Chibuzor of OPM’s response to their shocking interview with the family of the late Deborah Samuel.
When FIJ visited Deborah’s family, they spoke candidly about their present situation.
Deborah’s parents assert that contrary to statements made by Apostle Chibuzor, they were not given a free flat and that their landlord had told them to make their next payment immediately or vacate the property.
The late Deborah’s father also disclosed that he was given a pretty used car, which he used to provide taxi services until it developed problems and broke down.
In a subsequent development, the media site said that the cleric singled out Deborah’s father in the church during his previous sermon to express his disgust over
According to FIJ, the pastor wanted to know who got them an interpreter as he knew the family could only speak Hausa.
A source told FIJ.
“The interview we gave, it has caused serious problems at OPM. Yesterday (Sunday, June 18), he (Chinyere) called him outside inside the congregation and said that he heard everything. ‘Who interpreted it? Who interpreted that interview?’
He asked him. He (Garba) didn’t know the person, so he told him that he didn’t know the person. It seemed you brought the interpreter from your company, he told OPM,”
The source went on to reveal that the pastor has moved the family into the mini estate the church gave them, adding that he also bought three bags of rice for them and gave N20k cash.
“The pastor has now bought three bags of rice for us and handed us N20,000. Chinyere told Deborah’s family to leave their current abode and ordered that they move to the mini estate the church gave them,” the source said.
According to reports, Deborah’s family, in response, said they did nothing to rubbish the pastor’s image and are grateful for his kind gestures but could not lie about their present living conditions.
