“Have we abolished the 4(19) of our criminal code, dear @Lagos PoliceNG cc @BenHundeyin and our Ministry of Justice?” he wrote.

“How long will people be allowed to be duped by this thief Ebuka Obi? Does he defy the law? So, any criminal would be free to say whatever they want when they wake up and go to paradise because… Pastor?

“And these are the individuals whose places of business function as polling places. They will assist in manipulating elections so that politicians can benefit from them during their terms in office. If you do not give them some public funds, they will tell their sheep that God has taken away your glory and that you will not be able to win the next election.

“Set up, Master Ebuka Obi.” Your hoax is about to end.

Ijele was then invited to the Abuja police station about a reported case of criminal intimidation, life threat, cyberstalking, and cyberbullying against the pastor.
