The Delta State Police Command announced yesterday that it has started investigating Prophet Jeremiah Omoto Fufeyin, the General Overseer of Christ Mercy Land Deliverance Ministry, Effurun’s petition.
DSP Bright Edafe, the Command’s spokesperson, confirmed the development, saying that investigations are ongoing into Prophet Futeyin’s plea to the State’s Commissioner of Police, Ali Mohammed, about a viral video spreading on social media by his supposed enemies.
Prophet Jeremiah claimed in a petition titled “A case of conspiracy, cybercrime, criminal defamation, using the internet, cultism, suspected murder, cyberstalking and conduct against Pastor Ighosotu Johnmark and others,” that a pastor in Delta State conspired with one Bishop and Apostle to concoct confessions and miracles, and then maliciously and falsely used the Internet to allegedly blackmail him and his entire ministry membership.
The petitioner claimed that the blackmail has caused irreparable harm to his reputation, which he has worked hard to establish over the years, as well as the Church’s high ministerial rating, which is now being tarnished by false claims that the miracles taking place there, which thousands of worshippers across the country and beyond are attesting to, are fake and staged by the senior prophet.
The petitioner also claimed that the said Bishop claimed to have drained the blood of unidentified, innocent people in the viral video.
As a result, he urged the police to investigate the matter thoroughly and promptly in light of the law.
In the petition, Prophet Jeremiah also alleged that there had never been any kind of ongoing relationship between him and the Apostle to justify the current level of extortion and organized character assassination.
He noted that charges of cannibalism, cultism, killings of innocent people, and consuming their blood, as alleged in the trending video, are not concerns that the law and its enforcement authorities should take lightly, but should be thoroughly probed with the speed it deserves.
