About two months after the sudden disappearance of the General Overseer of Liberation and Miracle Ministries, aka Liberation City Centre, Prophet Chris Okafor, the General Overseer of Illumination Assembly, Lekki Light Centre, Bishop Isaac Idahosa, has allegedly taken over his church.YES International! gathered that the already scheduled programmes which the church had prior to the disappearance of their prophet will now be taken care of by Idahosa.
The two programmes: Night of Prophecy and Solution, which was supposed to have taken place on Friday, March 30, 2012, was shifted to Friday, April 27, 2012. The other one, A Day of Prophetic Feast, which was supposed to be on Sunday, April 1, 2012 now took place on Sunday, April 29, 2012. But the theme, Night of Intervention was changed to Pharaoh, Let My People Go. This change, we gathered, might not be unconnected with the current challenge of Okafor.
During our visit to the church’s permanent site at 9, Oshotisan Street, Off Odozi Street, by Ereke Bus-Stop, Ojodu, Lagos, on Wednesday, April 25, 2012, as usual, after scaling the hurdles of their security men, it was a surprise for us and members of the church to see Bishop Idahosa who came in his black Infinity jeep with registration no. LSD 682 AA. The service which lasted for more than two hours was also used by Idahosa to announce his 20 years wedding anniversary thus: “As I came by surprise today, your miracle shall come by surprise.”
YES International! also exclusively gathered from one of the members that apart from the Friday, April 27 night vigil and Sunday, April 29 prophetic conference, which Idahosa is expected to host, he may also be the one to preside over most of their major programmes and services until the return of Prophet Okafor.
Meanwhile, during our investigations, one Chuma Harris who claimed to have attended Liberation City twice said, “although I am not a member of the church, I know about things that happen in the church very well because a friend of mine who attends the church invited me there and I found out that this prophet is beyond the ordinary. In fact, people call him ‘O Talk Na Do”, but I call him a ‘Magician’. This is a man that will tell you the story of your life from Adam without knowing you from anywhere! During his consultation days, you will be asked to pay a certain amount of money before you can see him. There was a man during one of the night vigils I attended who he called out and told that his brother who had been in Germany for over seven years without a call would call him that night and by ten minutes after twelve that night, his brother called him. Before I decided not to go to the church again, I had already sown a seed of 7KVA generator”.
Another source who pleaded anonymity said, “There is nothing to hide about the fact that “O Talk Na Do” is dead! Or how do you explain his disappearance and no one has been able to give a clue about his whereabouts neither has his abductors shown their faces”.
On Friday, April 27, 2012, we called Bishop Idahosa about his visit and he said, “I didn’t take over any church activity. Although, it’s true that I went there on Wednesday, April 25, 2012, during their early morning prayer session just to preach, pray and encourage the church. I also visited his wife at home that day. Maybe those who said I’m taking over said that because I helped them promote the programmes they are set to do when I saw the handbills, but I never said I’m going to be there. Even that Sunday, I will be celebrating my 20th wedding anniversary and my one year Bishopric ordination in my church at Lekki, Ajah, Lagos”.
Idahosa also added that it is a rumour that Prophet Okafor is dead. “You mean they said Okafor is dead? No, he is not. I’m saying this because authoritatively the abductors still communicated with the family that Wednesday, April 25, 2012. They only wanted the balance of their ransom before he could be released, but he is very much alive”.
We told you in our last edition how Prophet Chris Okafor allegedly disappeared after a mid-night attack in Awka, Anambra State, on Sunday, March 11, 2012, after an open-air crusade at Emmaus House and that since then his church members have resorted to non-stop fasting and praying. We also informed you that his abductors had initially demanded for N25m before it was raised to N50m.Thereafter nothing was heard from them.
Prophet Okafor who has fleet of cars just completed a 9-bedroom duplex inside Magodo, Lagos and used to preside over his 2,000 congregation until his mysterious disappearance.
this is wonderful, love to see more of this.
