Prophet Moses Urovbu of the God Revival Prayer Ministry, based in Ughelli, Delta state, has reportedly been arrested by officers attached to the Delta State Police Command, for reportedly chaining and beating a 30-year-old man, Monday Edjedjere, brought to his church in search of healing for his mental ailment, to death.

The deceased who was placed on seven days fast without food or water, was chained to a coconut tree at the back of the church during the duration of the dry fast and was constantly beaten with a holy water cane till he became too weak and died on April 2nd.

Confirming the arrest of the Prophet, the State Commissioner of Police, Mohammed Mustapha said on March 28th, the victim, Monday Edjedjere was taken to Prophet Urovbu for prayer and healing by his mother.

The Sun reported that the church General Overseer billed the troubled mother N24,000, out of which she was able to pay N8,000 and thereafter returned to her Awsha community home leaving her son in the care of Prophet Urovbu. He further added her return to the church three days after, precisely on March 30th the woman met her son chained to a coconut tree with injuries all over his body.

Speaking to newsmen, Prophet Moses Urovbu said;

''I am the General Overseer of God Revival Prayer Ministry. I started my ministry in 1989. I have a large congregation spread across four branches of my church in Warri, Ughelli, Ewu, and Bayelsa State. I do pray for all kinds of people who are sick in my church. It was the mother of the deceased that brought him to my church because he was suffering from madness. I admitted him for prayers and billed them N24, 000 and the mother paid just N8, 000. I put the deceased on seven days dry fast. He started proving stubborn and broke the church plastic chairs. As a result, my pastors joined me and we chained him to a tree at the back of the church. The injuries on his body were sustained while flogging him with holy water cane so that he can be healed. It was when the mother discovered the condition of her son was not improving that she said I should release him to them. I refused because I can handle the situation. Unfortunately, the boy fell down, collapsed and died. On that fateful day, I still discharged five people who had similar sickness and I healed them and they are right in their houses now.”

The suspect's arrest however came after the deceased's brother, Michael Edjedjere, reported the matter to the police immediately it was discovered that his brother had died.

''When my mother told me about the critical condition of my brother, Monday, I felt bad especially when I heard he was chained by Prophet Moses. I called Prophet Moses on phone and told him that he should release my brother to me to take him to the hospital. But the prophet refused, boasting that he will heal him. It was two days later, my mother called me that my brother is dead. I didn’t believe it. I quickly rushed to Ughelli Police Station to report the case and that was how he was arrested.”  Michael said

oh but how does this happen, do people avoid reading the bible to KNOW that God ... the true God does not use such METHODS?

oh I pity how ignorance killed this young man. He never needed deliverance by chain or cane or even HOLY water

It's one thing to cast away madness caused by evil spirits and demons,

It's another thing to cast away madness caused by Kparaga, codeine, monkey tail, Kwale sawdust, Sapele water, tramadol or yahooplus.

With that said, the Prophet should be unconditionally released because he had only good intentions for the deceased and to think the deceased's family will now refuse to pay up the balance for the deliverance.

they said if you think education/knowledge is expensive, try ignorance. this family's ignorance of reading their bible them selves and prayin for him just cost them the death of their son/brother. the prophet should be released and his balance be paid asap

Emu pankere mimo waaaa

Where is the Pope??

The prophet will surely face murderer charge.There are evidences in the body of the deceased that showed he was tortured to death including dry fasting without food.The prophet also don't have operating license to treat a sick person either as a native or medical doctor.It cost the prophet much to come out of the case.It is faith in the name of Jesus that heals the sick not dry fasting,beating or flogging.

Ohh shiii juz got real!!

This is both sad and funny

I always tell my Patients

If you need medical advice, go to the hospital
If you need spiritual advice, go to your Pastor

Don't get it twisted, a pastor is in no position to cure or rehabilitate a mentally challenged patients...

But as usual, we blame the Devil for everything in this country, so prophets and pastors always claim to have all the solutions

#Rubbish

This is very bad and i hope the man gets the justice he deserves although i think the prophet just went too far

This is bad

How can you put a mad man on seven days dry fasting and expect him not to be violent? By the way the 24k charged was for what? The bible says "freely have ye received(the anointing to break yokes), freely give"... Any pastor asking you for money first before healing you, didn't get his anointing " freely", therefore anything you see, take am like that.

This one is strong,eleyi gidi gan!

I don't think all the number of people who have been killed by Boko Haram, Fulani Herdsmen or any terrorist group in Nigeria is half of those who have died by ignorance.

Ignorance is orgasmic.

Pretty painful the boy had to die this way.

The way we place unnecessary faith in men who tag themselves as "pastor" is very depressing.

Nigerian PASTORS sha

Same waY one fake pastor Mike Adeniran of Merry Christian Church Ogba, told my friends wife that her husband has use her glory.. That she must pack out of the man's Hauz else she won't see her glory to use again.. The lady packed out of her luvly matrimonial home and started wandering about with the fear created by d fetish pastor Mike Adeniran that she shd never set her eyes on her husband again else she will run mad..
The husband had to arrest him in order for him to produce the lady.. The lady was eventually presented, she sighted her husband and didn't run mad..
The pastor and some other fake prophets scammed a lot of money from this lady..
Collecting money from her husband to seek for deliverance...

This is insanity and not CHRISTIANITY

I do blame the man not the Prophet.

Its not today that i have known christains as FOOLS. Foolish pastors keep brainwashing the senseless and foolish followers. I thank God for making me discover the scam in this religion, i am now a fully converted muslim and i pray to God to make me die in this religion of Islam.

Oga ooooooo

It's just unfortunate..
If i was d president I would bound religion in dis country...
Religion is d major cause of Nigeria problem..

Pls that guy has to face time for manslaughter. No religious sentiments abeg.
But why are we Africans so wicked to ourselves? Why do we act in such barbaric manner?

nawa o

He transmitted the sick man unto glory....He should also experience transmission with police

They should also use the Holy water cane on him while chaining him in prison
