The General Overseer of Faith Alive Christian Centre, Lagos, Pastor
Obi Ofoedu, may have bitten more than he could chew as one of his church
members, Mrs. Favour Okafor, recently informed the police that the
prophet threatened to strike her with stroke because she refused to
accept his ‘calamity’ prophecy.
According to Encomium, trouble
started when the man of God prophesied during a church service that Mrs.
Okafor would face trouble in her place of work, which can only be
averted if the woman comes for special prayers.

According to Encomium, trouble

Reacting to the prophecy, the woman categorically stated that nothing bad would happen to her.
Angered by her affront, Pastor Ofoedu allegedly told Mrs. Okafor that she would be hit with stroke.
After
the alleged threat, the woman reported the matter at Area ‘M’ Police
Command in Idimu and the man of God was subsequently apprehended.
However,
he denied the allegation and pleaded not guilty to the charges brought
before him in court. The presiding magistrate, Mr. Nwaka, granted him
bail in the sum of N50,000 with two sureties in like sum. He was
remanded in prison for few days and released on bail.
