“My church was not demolished” – Prophet Odumeje (Video)

Controversial Anambra-based clergyman, Prophet Odumeje, has dismissed reports that his church, Mountain of Holy Ghost Intervention and Deliverance Ministry, was demolished.

It was earlier reported that the church in Bida Road, Fegge, Onitsha, Anambra State, was demolished by the Anambra State Government (ANSG) task force on Thursday, July 7, and a video capturing the moment the building was taken down was shared online.

Anambra State Governor, Soludo also confirmed the demolition in a statement signed on his behalf by his Chief Press Secretary, Christian Aburime.

It was stated that the church and other buildings were demolished because they were built on Fegge waterways.

The statement read,

“Following the expiration of the more than two weeks notice beginning from April 2022 served on developers and building owners who built several illegal structures along the waterway in Fegge and environs within Onitsha, Anambra state government has begun demolition of such structures.

The exercise which is being carried out by a joint government task force, commenced the exercise from Bida Road by Modebe Avenue, Fegge Onitsha.

The affected buildings include Mountain of Holy Ghost Intervention Deliverance Ministries, shops and other perimeter fences. The structures were marked since April, 2022 and all developers and building owners were served notice to remove such illegal structures.”
