Pastor David Ibiyeomie of Salvation Ministries has warned he will arrest and lock up unnamed bloggers who he accused of twisting his messages in the church.
Ibiyeomie warned the bloggers not to carry his news, whether good or bad. He threatened to arrest and lock them up if they do.
The pastor gave the warning in a video circulating on the Internet.
Ibiyeomie also indicted some of his church members, saying they are being used against him.
He said: “My type when I go after people, they will now send people to come and beg. So I’m warning for the last time. Next time there will be nothing like warning. If you dare it.
“A young man, I know you. Your father won’t beg me, I know your father too. Your mother won’t beg me. I will deal with you.
“Because when I pick them and people say why do you go like this. You know people are one kind – some people will be for me and some people will be against me. But those for me always are many.
“I’m warning all of you who used to be against me. Hear now, because when I go that way, they will say ‘how can a man of God curse people, go and arrest people, will you do this one’.
“So, when I go the other way, don’t come back to say this man of God is now using police to arrest people. Me, I will arrest you, I will lock you up. I don’t care. No man of God will pray for you and succeed.
“Don’t carry my news. I don’t want your news. You won’t make me popular. Already I am talking to the world. Good or bad, don’t carry my news. I don’t want you to carry it. Don’t carry news from this church.
“You know what they do? They will carry news and incite other bloggers. And some of you in this church are part of it. They plant you inside the church and instead of you listening to the message and get blessed, you now pick one thing and twist, say what I didn’t say.
“My gospel is before you slap, I slap you. I am not that kind of pastor. Young man, I will fight you.”
