Nigerian lawyer and activist, Deji Adeyanju, has reacted to the video of Port Harcourt-based Pastor,David Ibiyeomie of Salvation Ministries,where he was seen threatening to arrest and detain anyone who reports on him negatively.
In the trending video,the cleric accused some bloggers of deliberately twisting his messages for their ulterior motives. For this reason,he announced that he would not tolerate the misrepresentation of his words,vowing to take firm action against anyone who “crosses the line.”
He went on to say that he would not be moved by pleas for mercy,when anyone them cross the line with him,as he intend to deal with those who defy him.
Hear him:
“My type when I go after people, they will now send people to come and beg. So I’m warning you for the last time. Next time, there will be nothing like a warning. If you dare it. A young man, I know you. Your father won’t beg me, I know your father too. Your mother won’t beg me. I will deal with you.
Because when I pick them and people say, why do you go like this? You know, people are one kind – some people will be for me and some people will be against me. But for me, there are always many.
I’m warning all of you who used to be against me. Hear now, because when I go that way, they will say ‘how can a man of God curse people, go and arrest people, will you do this one’.
So, when I go the other way, don’t come back to say this man of God is now using the police to arrest people. I will arrest you, I will lock you up. I don’t care. No man of God will pray for you and succeed.
Don’t carry my news. I don’t want your news. You won’t make me popular. Already, I am talking to the world. Good or bad, don’t carry my news. I don’t want you to carry it. Don’t carry news from this church.
You know what they do? They will carry news and incite other bloggers. And some of you in this church are part of it. They plant you inside the church, and instead of you listening to the message and getting blessed, you now pick one thing and twist, say what I didn’t say.
My gospel is before you slap, I slap you. I am not that kind of pastor. Young man, I will fight you.”
The clergyman’s comment caught the attention of lawyer and activist,Deji
Adeyanju,who argued that people criticised Jesus and did not get locked up, so Ibiyeomie cannot threaten to lock anyone up.
