Controversial Anambra pastor, Chukwuemeka Ohanere, popularly known as “Odumeje,” has declared that he will soon die, saying his earthly ministry has come to an end.
Odumeje rose to prominence through his unusual style of deliverance, often likened to WWE wrestling, where he lifted and slammed miracle-seeking members of his congregation.
He also made headlines last year after a clash with Anambra State government officials during the demolition of his church, an incident that left him severely beaten and drew public sympathy.
In a video from his Sunday service now circulating online, the pastor told his congregation that the time for his departure had come.
He said:
“I have called my little son, KingDavid, and told him that very soon, I, your father, will leave. You must take care of your brothers and your mother.
“I came into this world for a purpose, and that purpose has been fulfilled. I have completed my earthly ministry, and I will leave soon.”
Odumeje, who has faced several public battles and openly challenged native doctors to miracle contests, is 40 years old.
