Popular Nigerian clergyman, Prophet Odumeje, has issued a stern warning to his fans, urging them not to film or photograph him whenever they encounter him in public. The pastor, known for his unconventional style of ministry, expressed his discomfort with being treated like a celebrity and stressed that he is a prophet, not a public figure.
During a ministration service, Odumeje addressed his congregation, telling them that the act of recording him without permission makes him uneasy. “Stop videoing me when you see me on the road. I am not a celebrity; I am a prophet. I am more dangerous,” he declared, making his position clear to the audience.
The controversial pastor took his warning a step further, saying that anyone caught filming him would face severe consequences. “I will scatter that phone spiritually,” Odumeje said, leaving many of his followers divided over the intensity of his remarks.
Odumeje’s comments have sparked mixed reactions from his congregation and fans alike. Some supporters of the pastor have backed his stance, arguing that his message is one of respect and boundaries, while others have criticized him for his harsh response to being filmed. The incident has ignited a debate about the boundaries between public and private life for religious figures, particularly those with large followings.
