Publisher of the International Daily Devotional, Our Daily Manna(ODM) Bishop (Dr.) Chris Kwakpovwe narrowly escaped death on Friday when five men fully armed with sophisticated weapons, stormed his ultra modern auditorium at Ogudu, Lagos State.
Confirming the incident, the church’s media spokesman, Mr. Julius disclosed thus:
“Yes, it’s true. The unfortunate incident occurred on Friday during a programme meant for preparation towards the forthcoming World Anointing Night at the Tafawa Balewa Square, Onikan, Lagos.
“The bishop stepped out around 9:45 pm and the gang breezed in 10 minutes later.
Barely had he left when the alleged armed men drove in and went straight to his office shouting, ‘Where is the bishop?’ They shot into the air to scare the worshippers when they couldn’t locate the bishop.
“They were on a mission as they only went straight for the bishop and were demanding from worshippers where he was. When it dawned on them that he had escaped, they vandalized his son’s car and left. The matter is being investigated by Ogudu police.”
Since last year, Dr. Chris has been on the receiving end of impersonators and blackmailers in the media and on the internet, who take advantage of the liberality of the social media to extort, embarrass and sabotage his public image, because he refused to succumb to their outrageous ransom.
According to the publicist of the ODM publisher, the public should disregard any post on the internet by a faceless group which casts aspersions on the integrity of the bishop.
