More Stories on This Section
More facts have emerged on the controversial publications about Apostle Timothy Obadare’s four days death, his resurrection, his vision of Pastor Bimbo Odukoya in hell as well as the CAC division.
Assistant General Superintendent of Christ Apostolic Church (CAC), Apostle Jimmy Olufemi Alabi has thrown more light on why the reports should not be relied upon.

The minister, who said the church was weary about the false allegations, dismissed them as malicious and slanderous write-ups.
In an interview with Daily Sun, Alabi, who is also the Patron of CAC, Obadare Centre Assembly, Agege, Lagos, said that Obadare was never in coma or hospitalised. “Okay, if he died, where did he die? Was it in Nigeria or abroad?” The cleric asked rhetorically.
Alabi, who was accompanied by the Assembly Pastor, Akin Aikulola, and Pastor Akin Alabi, pointed out that there was nothing true about the stories.

The publication is malicious
We are very much disturbed about the publications. According to them, Apostle Obadare died and rose after four days later and that he saw the late Pastor Bimbo Odukoya in hell and a number of other allegations. The news is not fair, it is not balance, it is malicious as well as slanderous.

Apostle Obadare did not die
Apostle Obadare did not die for four days. He had never died. He is alive, advanced in age and no longer conduct revival as he used to do. However, the magazine fabricated story and has published twice the same story yet no confirmation from the family. Nobody spoke to the family; nobody spoke to any pastor of the church or the ministry. Authorities of the Christ Apostolic Church were not cited. That of WOSEM, which is the evangelical arm of CAC was not contacted too. No family source was contacted or quoted.

Incredible source
They made wide allegations, the source is not credible. It said the pastor of the Redeemed Church of God was with us. No name was mentioned. To the best of my knowledge, the Redeemed Church has over 5000 pastors worldwide yet no name was mentioned. No branch or parish was mentioned. There was no reference to name or identity. So the source is fake.

Obadare never met Bimbo Odukoya
Also, the allegation was made that Obadare claimed to have met Pastor Odukoya’s wife in hell. I want to say that for someone who has worked closely with Apostle Obadare for the past 28 years, and as the Chairman of the National Publicity Committee of the Ministry, Papa never had contact with the late Pastor Bimbo Odukoya. They never met. He had never met her while she was alive. The person you have never met or known, to see the person and recognise her, is ridiculous. It is not true.

Division in CAC
What is more, there is also insinuation that Baba divided CAC; he should go back and return WOSEM to CAC. It should be known that till today, Apostle Obadare is the General Evangelist of the Christ Apostolic Church worldwide. He has not left CAC.
Secondly, WOSEM is the evangelical arm of CAC and has existed for 35 years. It organises crusades and does evangelism and if any church is founded, it is Christ Apostolic Church, where it is correctly called, Christ Apostolic Church, Obadare Centre. I can assure you that this church was founded through the evangelical activities of Obadare, through WOSEM. WOSEM is under CAC, Lion of Judah is also under CAC.

Obadare’s reaction
Baba is in the US now. When he heard all these, he was surprised and has committed everything to God.

For the Odukoya’s family
As for Pastor Odukoya, there is no contact. No message was received and none was sent.

Visitors to the church
People are coming around to ask questions and they are being told the truth. They are being made to know that, this newspaper is telling lies. They tell any lie just to sell their papers.

Advice to the public
They should be careful of what they buy and read in order not to be misguided.

On the government
We should pray for our president for quick recovery. Anybody can fall sick at any time. The constitution should be allowed to take its course. The constitution should be followed accordingly while we are praying for him. This government should not come to a halt. There are provisions in the constitution for any president who is unable to attend to his duty.

Why for the hell of it can bimbo odukoya not be in hell? Does she have two heads?

I'm tired of all these she dey hell, she no dey hell. Haba!

Make una leave matter for mathaias!!

I think, ppl should leave issues that do not concern them. If u underwent a trance, keep it to urself, & leave the public out of it. Those of us alive should leave uprightly & leave the dead alone. , Haba. ''GOD IS THE JUDGE; PLEASE.

The journalists that carried the story and their superiors should collectively be tied to the stake and be shot

@AKO: Unfortunately, in Nigeria, news agencies hardly retract such misinformation disinformation.

@ poster

This settles it then.
